Transgenic, Knockout and Tumor model Center (TKTC)

 

          

Overview of Services

 

For tumor model projects, the client should provide clear written instructions to the staff for proper execution of the project. TKTC will expend all reasonable efforts to follow the written instructions, but cannot guarantee the outcome of an experiment. If the instructions were followed properly, then any repeat experiments are the financial responsibility of the investigator. The repeat of a failed experiment by TKTC at it’s expense requires the prior approval of the director of TKTC.

If the investigators do not have pre-approved animal protocols, they are encouraged to contact us 1.5-2months before the expected start date of the experiment. TKTC will charge fees for writing it up or revising the protocol and getting it approved.

Eligibility

 

All Stanford investigators who have approved A-PLAC (Administrative Panel on Laboratory Animal Care) protocol numbers are eligible to use the facility's services. The facility has an approved protocol #12002 which covers the production of transgenic and knockout mice and protocol 33796 which cover the production of tumor-bearing mice. Investigators only need protocols for characterization of the transgenic and chimeric animals. It usually takes 4-6 weeks to get a protocol approved by APLAC; so you should plan ahead and have a protocol number ready when requesting the service.

 

External users who have an approved animal protocol and animal housing location are also eligible to use the services provided by the TKTC.

 

If you have questions regarding animal protocols, you may contact Dr.Claude Nagamine at 498-4773 or Valerie Fratus at 723-4550.

 

Pricing for External Users

 

Users not paying with an internal Stanford PTA will have to pay a Facilities and Administration (F&A) charge of 58% (starting 1 Sept. 2015).  Exceptions will be made for payments from Stanford Affiliates (organizations with a formal affiliation agreement with Stanford).

Publication Acknowledgment

 

As with all Stanford Service Centers, credit must be given to Stanford Transgenic, Knockout, and Tumor Model Center (TKTC) for data that results in a publication. If the work done at Stanford TKTC produces data resulting in a figure in a publication, you are required to acknowledge Stanford TKTC in the publication. Further, if Stanford TKTC staff members provided significant experimental design, data interpretation, or other intellectual contribution (as evaluated by the PI), then it is expected that these individuals will be coauthors on the publication.
