MBP’s Reproductive Services ensure efficient breeding, maintenance, and preservation of valuable mouse lines, helping researchers sustain their colonies and advance studies without delays.
The Reproductive Services at the Mouse Biology Program (MBP) are designed to enhance the efficiency and success of your mouse colony management. With advanced reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo transfer, and rederivation, MBP accelerates the production of genetically modified mouse lines, speeding up your research.
Our expert team is skilled in troubleshooting reproductive challenges, addressing issues like suboptimal breeding or low fertility with personalized solutions. By leveraging state-of-the-art facilities and tailored strategies, MBP ensures optimal colony productivity and genetic quality, supporting more reliable and impactful research results. Let MBP’s reproductive expertise streamline your breeding efforts and drive your studies forward.
IVF
The Mouse Biology Program (MBP) offers a comprehensive in vitro fertilization (IVF) service that helps researchers meet specific breeding goals and efficiently generate genetically engineered mouse models. Designed to maximize fertility rates, even with rare or challenging genetic lines, the MBP IVF service fertilizes eggs in vitro and implants them into pseudopregnant surrogate mothers. This technique accelerates the production of desired mouse strains and is especially valuable for rapidly expanding colonies or recovering critical genetic lines from frozen sperm. With cutting-edge technology and methodologies supported by experienced reproductive biologists, the MBP’s IVF service ensures high success rates and optimal outcomes for research projects.
ICSI
The Mouse Biology Program (MBP) offers Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) as a specialized reproductive support service designed to assist in the production of genetically engineered mouse models. ICSI involves the precise injection of a single sperm into an oocyte, facilitating fertilization and embryo development. This technique is beneficial for lines with low sperm viability or fertility challenges, allowing researchers to rescue valuable genetic lines that might otherwise be lost. ICSI also enables the generation of offspring from genetically modified strains with mutations that impede natural mating or IVF. Conducted by experienced professionals using advanced equipment, the MBP’s ICSI service ensures high-quality, efficient results that enhance research productivity and success.
