Project Summary The University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center (UTHSC) proposes to upgrade facilities and broaden research services in the existing UTHSC Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL) located in Memphis, TN to support internal and external investigators in basic and translational research with emerging pathogens and select agents utilizing small animal. In Aim 1, upgrading the hardware and building automation system software that has been in place since 2009 is our top priority with this funding opportunity and will allow the UTHSC RBL to operate continuously well into the future. In Aim 2, we request support to expand existing infrastructure in order to use our current facility to its design capacity with additional caging and racks. Importantly, a major component of our plan is to upgrade our vivarium to house the Provantis Instem to provide support for preclinical services. In Aim 3 and 4, we request equipment for whole animal imaging and immunological analyses to strengthen our ability to meet the research service demands in terms of endpoints available to users; both internally and externally. In summary, this proposal seeks to: (1) upgrade and replace outdated or obsolete components of the building management system; (2) expand infrastructure for small animals other than mice, (3) upgrade current animal imaging capabilities and dedicate one animal biosafety level 3 (ABSL3) laboratory for the IVIS/CT imaging system, (4) enable preclinical services with a dedicate ABSL-3 area for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) monitoring; and (5) equipment to enable immunological analyses currently not available (elispot) and replace an obsolete flow cytometry equipment with a spectral flow cytometer.

项目概要 田纳西大学健康科学中心 (UTHSC) 提议升级设施并扩大 位于田纳西州孟菲斯的现有 UTHSC 区域生物防护实验室 (RBL) 的研究服务 支持内部和外部研究人员对新出现的病原体进行基础和转化研究 选择利用小动物的药剂。目标1，升级硬件和楼宇自动化系统软件 自 2009 年以来实施的计划是我们利用这一融资机会的首要任务，将使 UHSC RBL 将在未来持续运营。在目标 2 中，我们请求支持以扩展现有基础设施 为了利用我们现有的设施来达到其设计能力，并配备额外的笼子和架子。重要的是，一个主要 我们计划的一部分是升级我们的饲养场以容纳 Provantis Instem，为临床前研究提供支持 服务。在目标 3 和 4 中，我们要求用于整体动物成像和免疫分析的设备 加强我们在用户可用端点方面满足研究服务需求的能力；两个都 内部和外部。综上所述，本提案旨在：（1）升级和替换过时或过时的 建筑管理系统的组成部分； (2) 扩大小鼠以外小动物的基础设施， (3) 升级现有动物成像能力，设立1个动物生物安全3级（ABSL3）实验室 对于 IVIS/CT 成像系统，(4) 通过 Good Laboratory 的专用 ABSL-3 区域提供临床前服务 实践（GLP）监控； (5) 目前无法进行免疫分析的设备 (elispot) 并用光谱流式细胞仪替换过时的流式细胞仪设备。
