Requestable Documents

Access requestable documents from the Mouse Biology Program, providing detailed information and resources to support your research and streamline your studies.


The Mouse Biology Program (MBP) offers various documents to support researchers, collaborators, and institutions working with our mouse models and services. Whether you need compliance information, technical protocols, or resource documentation, our team can provide the necessary materials to ensure your research runs smoothly and meets regulatory standards.

Available Documents

1. Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs)
Required for the transfer of mouse strains and related materials between institutions. These agreements ensure proper handling, use, and compliance.

2. Animal Care and Use Protocols
Documents detailing the care, welfare, and experimental procedures approved by the UC Davis Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). These protocols are essential for meeting ethical standards in animal research.

3. Health Reports
Comprehensive health status reports for mouse colonies, including pathogen surveillance and specific health monitoring results. These reports confirm the pathogen-free status of the mice before transfer.

4. Genetic Verification Reports
