项目摘要

The Primate Stutiies Core facilitates the conduct of late-stage preclinical studies of mitigators of radiation damage in nonhuman primates, following the specific priorities of the RadCCORE consortium and other CMCRs nationwide, including since 2007 long-term care and study of animals surviving high-dose irradiation at other institutions. Because of the high degree of genetic and physiologic similarity of nonhuman primates to human beings, this resource is a critical component of translational assessment of candidate deliverable agents, in an experimental setting under which relevant doses of whole-body irradiation can be given to healthy subjects. Core investigators have unique skills in the experimental use and clinical medicine of nonhuman primates, including irradiation, veterinary medical care and management of myelosuppressed animals, comparative pathology of primates, pathology of radiation injury, biochemistry, clinical pathology and endocrinology of primates, and adaptation of molecular biologic techniques to the primate model. Core services include acquisition and maintenance of specific-pathogen-free nonhuman primates, exposure of animals to radiation, administration of therapeutic interventions, and clinical and pathologic assessments of treatment outcomes, including necropsy/tissue collection and sharing for baseline characterization of radiation responses and assessment of mitigating interventions. The Core also provides extensive data management services for primate studies, including data and tissue sharing.

灵长类研究核心促进辐射缓解剂的后期临床前研究的进行遵循 RadCCORE 联盟和其他 CMCR 的具体优先事项，对非人类灵长类动物造成损害全国范围内，包括自 2007 年以来在其他地方对遭受高剂量辐射的动物进行长期护理和研究机构。由于非人类灵长类动物与人类具有高度的遗传和生理相似性存在，该资源是候选可交付代理翻译评估的关键组成部分，可以对健康受试者进行相关剂量的全身照射的实验环境。核心研究者在非人灵长类动物的实验使用和临床医学方面拥有独特的技能，包括辐射、兽医医疗护理和骨髓抑制动物的管理、比较灵长类动物病理学、放射损伤病理学、生物化学、临床病理学和内分泌学灵长类动物，以及分子生物学技术对灵长类动物模型的适应。核心服务包括获得和维持无特定病原体的非人类灵长类动物，使动物暴露于辐射，治疗干预的管理以及治疗结果的临床和病理评估，包括尸检/组织收集和共享，用于辐射反应的基线表征和缓解干预措施的评估。 Core 还为灵长类动物提供广泛的数据管理服务研究，包括数据和组织共享。
