Through this process, a mouse line that faces reproductive obstacles can be rescued, provided that the fertilization efficiency of the sperm is maintained and that a compatible egg donor strain is available.
This service can be provided simultaneously with sperm cryopreservation so that the mouse line of interest can be re-derived while also securing frozen samples for storage.
The details of this service will be tailored to the needs of the investigator.
Investigator’s Responsibilities
The investigator should contact Kathleen Moosbrugger (kthompso@pennmedicine.upenn.edu – 215-573-3023) to discuss the plans for the service. These would include the availability of the male mice, their current location, the number of mouse lines involved and the service fees.
