Laboratory of Phenotype/Histology
Mission
-The missions of the phenotyping facility include the phenotyping of engineered mice strains,the development of protocol for specific antibodies, as well as training and advising members of the CIG on the different available technologies.
Activities
-Advice and collaboration for CIG projects
-Development of protocol tailored to each antibody
-Hands-on training of CIG members on the different machines (Cryostat, Microtome, etc…)
-Training of CIG members in histology practice
-Test/benchmark the newly released products and technologies
-Manage a stock of secondary antibodies
Techniques
-Dissection and Fixation
-Inclusion in paraffin and freezing
-Cutting of paraffin and frozen sections
-Fluorescence and Enzymatic immunohistochemistry techniques
