Abstract

The Center for Animal Resources and Development (CARD), Kumamoto University was established in 1998. We provide advanced research support services for the mouse-based biomedical research community via an official and a premium mouse bank system. To efficiently manage these mouse banks, we have actively developed and modified basic mouse reproductive techniques. We shall introduce these techniques in this paper.

Keywords: genetically engineered mice; mouse bank; reproductive techniques; the Center for Animal Resources and Development (CARD); training course.
