Eligibility
All Stanford investigators who have approved A-PLAC (Administrative
Panel on Laboratory Animal Care) protocol numbers are eligible to use
the facility's services. The facility has an approved protocol ( #7223)
which covers the production of transgenic and knockout mice. Investigators
only need protocols for characterization of the transgenic and chimeric
animals.
It usually takes 4-6 weeks to get a protocol approved by A-PLAC; so you
should plan ahead and have a protocol number ready when requesting the
service.
External users who have an approved animal protocol and animal housing location are also eligible to use the services provided by the Stanford facility.
If you have questions regarding animal protocols, you may contact Dr.Manny Garcia at 498-4773 or Valerie Fratus at 723-4550.
