项目摘要

Animal Histopathology Core Faciiity The UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center has a major strategic commitment to mouse models of human disease. Multiple faculty use these models in their research funded to probe cancer etiology and biology, and increasingly to test therapeutic efficacy of novel compounds and multimodality therapies. An important endpoints of animal studies are pathologic evaluation and in situ molecular analysis; these help to determine therapeutic efficacy, potential toxicity, and disease pathogenesis. The goal of the LCCC Animal Histopathology Core (AHC) is to provide high quality, affordable histology and molecular pathology support to the UNC biomedical research community. The AHC adds value through a convenient campus location, customizable services, subsidized pricing, and access to board-certified veterinary pathologists. Major services include tissue embedding and sectioning (frozen and paraffin), routine and special stains, and consultation on animal study design, tissue collection and pathologic interpretation. In 2008 all of the basic histology equipment was upgraded to increase throughput and automation; in 2009 a third FTE histotechnologist and an automated immunostainer were added. Members receive priority access and a 50% or greater discount for most services. The Faculty Director is Arlin Rogers, an ACVP-certified pathologist with more than 15 years of experience using animal models in research. In addition to his independent studies on liver carcinogenesis, he has directed animal histopathology cores for the past seven years. Facility Director Janice Weaver is a highly skilled histotechnologist and laboratory administrator. Under current leadership, annual productivity increased 61% since the last competing renewal. In 2009, the Core served 52 member users representing 7 research programs. For 2010, the Core requests $121,382 in CCSG funds, representing 27% of its operating costs; 88% of procedures were performed for cancer center members last year. Future plans include fee-for service immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, maintenance of rapid turnaround times and excellent quality of routine submissions, and support for UNC animal research initiatives including the Mouse Phase I Unit and the Collaborative Cross.

动物组织病理学核心设施北卡罗来纳大学莱恩伯格综合癌症中心对人类疾病小鼠模型做出了重大战略承诺。多名教师在其资助的研究中使用这些模型来探索癌症病因学和生物学，并越来越多地测试新型化合物和多模式疗法的治疗效果。动物研究的一个重要终点是病理学评估和原位分子分析；这些有助于确定治疗效果、潜在毒性和疾病发病机制。 LCCC 动物组织病理学核心 (AHC) 的目标是为北卡罗来纳大学生物医学研究界提供高质量、负担得起的组织学和分子病理学支持。 AHC 通过便利的校园位置、可定制的服务、补贴价格以及获得委员会认证的兽医病理学家的机会来增加价值。主要的服务包括组织包埋和切片（冷冻和石蜡）、常规和特殊染色，以及动物研究设计、组织采集和病理解释的咨询。 2008 年，对所有基本组织学设备进行了升级，以提高通量和自动化程度； 2009 年，增加了第三名 FTE 组织技术专家和一名自动免疫染色仪。会员可以优先使用大多数服务并享受 50% 或更高的折扣。学院主任是 Arlin Rogers，一位获得 ACVP 认证的病理学家，拥有超过 15 年使用动物模型进行研究的经验。除了对肝癌发生的独立研究外，他在过去七年中还指导了动物组织病理学核心研究。设施主任 Janice Weaver 是一位技术精湛的组织技术学家和实验室管理员。在目前的领导下，自上次竞争更新以来，年生产率提高了 61%。 2009 年，核心为代表 7 个研究项目的 52 名会员用户提供服务。 2010 年，核心要求 CCSG 资金为 121,382 美元，占其运营成本的 27%；去年，88% 的手术是为癌症中心成员进行的。未来的计划包括收费服务免疫组织化学和原位杂交、维持快速的周转时间和优良的常规提交质量，以及支持北卡罗来纳大学动物研究计划，包括小鼠第一阶段单位和协作交叉。
