Comprehensive screen (Pipeline 1)
Comprehensive test items examining metabolic, blood/hematic, osseous/skeletal, cancer, cardiovascular, sensory, skin/fur, and neural/behavioral characteristics, construct pipeline 1.
P1-01: Modified-SHIRPA ( 8w ) - SOP
The Modified SHIRPA is a simple method for evaluating the characteristic behaviors and morphologies of mice. Fifty six items about various mouse behaviors and morphologies, and its sensory responses are tested by visual inspection and manual handling using simple equipment.
P1-02: Hematological test ( 9w ) - SOP
In hematological test, 22 parameters of blood count (white blood cell count, red blood cell count, platelet, etc) are measured with about 200 micro-L of mouse blood.
P1-03: Clinical biochemical test ( 11w ) - SOP
In clinical biochemical test, 21 parameters of serum biochemical tests (LDH, AST, Glu, T-CHO, etc) are measured with mouse serum.
P1-04: IPGTT (Intra-peritoneal glucose tolerance test) ( 14w ) - SOP
The glucose tolerance test measures the clearance of a standardized glucose load from the body.
Mice are fasted for approximately 16 hours (overnight), before a glucose solution is administered intraperitoneally.
Subsequent blood glucose is measured at different time points during the following 2 hours using a portable blood glucose monitor (GLUCOCARD; ARKRAY Inc.).
P1-05: Adipocytokine test ( 18w ) - SOP
P1-06: Funduscopy ( 19w ) - SOP
Mouse retinal morphology is observed through the funduscope camera. Retina, blood vessels, and optic disc are observed in diluted eye.
P1-07: X-ray ( 22w ) - SOP
Bone morphology is observed, using x-ray systems for specimen radiography.
P1-08: Body fat percentage and Bone Mineral Density (DEXA) ( 22w ) - SOP
The Body fat percentage (%Fat) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) are measured simultaneously by DEXA method (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry).
P1-09:ECG (Electrocardiography) ( 24w )
To analyse cardiac functions, electrocardiogram (ECG) is recorded using a system with surface electrodes that monitor patterns of potential changes within mice originated from the cardiac activity.
Analysis by FE132 Bio Amp & PowerLab 2/26
P1-10: FACS ( 26w ) - SOP
This test differentiates immune cell sub-populations via flow cytometry.
P1-11: Macroscopic test ( 26w ) - SOP
After the early-onset phenotype analyses of mice in 13 weeks after birth, pathological phenotype analyses were commenced and to be continued until 26weeks of age. During this period, anatomical and histological test (option) .
