SPF Animals

SPF Animals are produced by using hysterectomy-derived germ-free animals. The animals are housed in a barriered animal room, and kept under stringent control
according to the standard animal production system. Serological tests for specific pathogens are regularly performed.
“Cr” is an abbreviation for “Division of Cancer Treatment, National Cancer Institute, U.S.A.”

Quality control

SLC produced various kind of experimental animals according to the standard animal production system, and kept under stringent microbiological and genetic control. The animals are monitored regularly to maintain health conditions and characteristics..

Breeding System

1. Closed colony: The animals are produced by random mating system.

2. Inbred strain:

1) Foundation stock colony: This is the “seed stock” of the strain. Brother to sister mating inbreeds the pedigreed animals.

2) Multiplication colonies: The aim of these colonies is to produce breeding stocks for final production of experimental animals. The breeding stock is provided by the foundation stock colony. The pairing is brother to sister mating.

3) Production colonies: These colonies are only for production of experimental animals. Random mating is used for animal production, rather than brother to sister mating.

3. Hybrid strain: Mating between females and males of different inbred strain produces F1 hybrids.
