Transgenic Animals
Whole Animal Luminescent Imaging
Services
The
Penn State
College of Medicine (PSCOM)
facilities
include a centralized facility
for Whole Animal Luminescent
Imaging,
including capabilities from
fluorescent as well as
luminescent imaging of intact
animals. The Core has a Xenogen
IVIS 50 system
with an added Fluorescent
Protein module, located in ARF
107 (moving
to the CAQ Surgery suite October
2008).
Additional
information about luminescent
imaging as well as commercially
available mouse models to use
this non-invasive imaging method
can be found at
www.xenogen.com.
Additional
custom transgenic mouse models
for this type of imaging can be
constructed in our
Transgenic Animal Facility. To
arrange to use the
Xenogen
instrumentation, please contact
Dr. Jiyue Zhu,
(717) 531-3597. |
