The Cell Culture and Cytogenetics Facility carries out classical and molecular cytogenetic analyses. These studies include karyotyping, special staining and banding procedures, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). This analysis can be performed on cells from blood or tissue specimens from humans or experimental animals, cultured cells, and/or fresh, frozen, or paraffin-embedded tumor biopsies. This approach can be used to characterize the karyotype of cells; map the location of new genes, virus, or transgene insertions; monitor established cell lines to rule out interspecies cell culture contamination or other changes during cell culture; ensure the fidelity of embryonic stem cells prior to production of knockout mice; determine the pattern of chromosomal gains and losses; and enumerate copy numbers of chromosomes or cancer-related genes. The Cell Culture and Cytogenetics Facility provides comprehensive state-of-the-art cytogenetics services ranging from assisting investigators with study design, performing cell culture, preparing probes, carrying out and interpreting classical and molecular cytogenetic analyses, and assisting in manuscript preparation. The laboratory includes equipment for cell culture, cryopreservation, cytogenetic harvests, cytogenetic analysis of human and other mammalian cells, FISH, molecular genetic procedures requisite for FISH, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, fluorescence and light microscopy, darkroom for standard photomicrography and printing as well as digital imaging and printing to laser or dye sublimation printers.
Core sells sequencing data and bioinformatic analytics services to the scientific community. Core aims to permit the development of research on sequencing protocols and encourage collaboration with clinicians to develop the next generation genomic DNA testing.
Software for a general workbench for analyzing regulatory sequence regions and discovering transcription factor binding sites and cis-regulatory modules.
Research Histology Services is located in the Thomas E. Starzl Biomedical Science Tower at the University of Pittsburgh. RHS lab serves as the Core Liver and Kidney Laboratory for the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN) and the Core Heart Lab for the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation in Children (CTOTC04), providing histology services for ongoing clinical patient research studies throughout the United States and Canada. Provides range of histological research techniques that include decalcification, standard tissue processing, biopsy processing, paraffin embedding, OCT embedding of frozen tissues, serial sectioning, step/level sectioning, and cryostat sectioning. A wide spectrum of assays is available in addition to the routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain. Special histochemical stains routinely provided include; Masson Trichrome, PAS (periodic acid Schiff), Prussian Blue (Iron), Verhoff''''s Elastin Stain, Cresyl Violet, Toluidine Blue, and Luxol Fast Blue; additional histochemical staining is done upon request. Wide arrays of Immunoperoxidase and Immunofluorescent staining and apoptosis/ tunel stains are also available. Our goal is to return quality work in the shortest time possible.
THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 24,2024. Respiratory Disease Immunology Core Laboratory is to provide technical expertise and resources to investigators interested in the immunological evaluation of rhesus macaque models for lung disease. Studies are primarily carried out in conjunction with the Inhalation Exposure Core and the Computational Imaging Core at UCDavis, in order to provide a comprehensive evaluation of pathophysiological responses in the lung. Services provided by the RDICL include assistance with experimental design, allergen characterization and preparation (through Resource Services), evaluation of allergen-specific IgE and IgG, and quantitation of histamine. We also provide technical support for sample processing, including bronchoalveolar lavage, lung tissue, and blood. Flow cytometry and molecular analysis of lung and blood samples are coordinated with the Flow Cytometry Core Laboratory and the Infectious Disease Immunology Core Laboratory. In addition to immunological evaluation, the Respiratory Disease Immunology Core Laboratory can provide investigators with primary cell isolates and in vitro culture of rhesus lung epithelial cells and fibroblasts. The Core does not conduct studies with human lung cultures. Please inquire for additional assays that are in development. In the future, immunohistochemistry of lung samples will be offered in conjunction with the Computational Imaging Core at UCDavis.
