Description of the Service Centre
All researchers can use these facilities to perform research with animal models. The available mice strain is produced in our Animal House: an immunodeficient mouse model, with combined immunodeficiency in T- and B-cells, which supports the growth of human and animal tumor xenografts. Their main area of application is in tumour biology and xenograft research. For more information please visit www. ipatimup.pt > Diagnostic Services > Animal Model Facility
