Mouse models of human cancer have had a profound impact on our current understanding of the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and the pathways regulated by cancer-related genes. These models hold the promise of serving as critical tools in the discovery and testing of novel therapeutics to be used in the treatment and prevention of cancer.
The Transgenic Mouse Model Laboratory (TMML) provides assistance to the scientific community with the generation of genetically engineered mice (GEM), offering a complete array of services aimed at the successful generation of transgenic and gene-targeted mice, and their expansion and cryopreservation.
All NCI Mouse Repository mice are free, however, the recipient is responsible for shipping costs. Cryo-archived strains are supplied as frozen embryos. Recovery of live mice from the Repository may be requested by interfacing with the Mouse Modeling Core.
To request MMC services from this CCR core facility, you must submit your requisition through NAS.
