概要Overview
It is often difficult for research institutions, including universities, to rear mice for long periods and transfer them between institutions. Since environmental conditions and long-term rearing can affect the phenotype of aged mice, breeding these mice in a uniform environment is crucial. The aged mice supplied by the NBRP are bred for approximately two years in a uniform environment that is strictly controlled for microbes. Our aged mice are therefore microbially safeand can be used in aging research.
