DNA microinjectiion, O/ v' G6 A( ]% n0 K
Injection of DNA for the production of transgenic mice or embryos. ( Z1 U4 k/ j2 j; b
/ w% w' f& f0 O, O* h: D" Y
The Transgenic Animal Center will inject DNA provided by the client into 200 eggs per construct. After injection, the eggs are transferred to the oviduct of pseudopregnant recipients. If a minimum of 2 founders per plasmid construct are not obtained, the center will injects an additional 100 eggs at no extra cost. If after a second injection session there are still no founders, no future microinjections will be performed. A meeting will be held between the center and the client to discuss future plans.

One week after birth, we will do genotyping on mouse toes free of charge. Upon 3 weeks after birth, founder pups are separated and transferred to the client.

! }" w3 v! M- Z; pIn the case that the client requires transgenic mouse embryos, although our successful rate is relatively high, no explicit guarantees will be made due to the lowered rate of charge. The client can opt to do additional injections on our much discounted rate to increase the chance of success., K' u! }3 Y# Q

While we guarantee at least two founders carrying all or part of the transgene, we do not guarantee expression or germline transmission. If the transgene is embryonic lethal, or DNA provided by the client does not meet requirements, the client understands that he/she is responsible for payment in full of fees associated with microinjection. There is no founder guarantee for BAC.
