JAX tour - Warszawa 16 May 2016
Speaker: Peter Kelmenson, BA Technical Information Scientist, The Jackson Laboratory
9:00-10:00
Generate quality data by ensuring the health and genetic quality of your
mouse colonies
Mouse health and genetic quality dramatically impact the quality of research data. Join this seminar
to learn how to monitor and protect your mouse colonies from the devastating effects of pathogen
outbreaks and genetic drift.
10:30-11:30
Comparing models for obesity and diabetes research
Multiple inbred mouse models serve as powerful tools to study the genetics, underlying mechanisms,
and therapies for human type 2 diabetes. In this webinar, you will learn about the strengths and
weaknesses of the most popular and emerging strains to assist you in selecting the best model for
your research application.
12:30-13:30
Introduction to humanized mice for cancer immunotherapy
The mammalian immune system has developed surveillance mechanisms that can detect cancerous
cells; however successful tumor cells have evolved strategies to evade detection. Current therapeutic
strategies focus on improving cancer cell recognition and tumor elimination. Mouse models have
been instrumental in the development of these therapies, including both immunocompetent and
immunodeficient mice.

9:00-10:00
Key differences among B6 substrains and the research impact
The most widely used inbred strain, C57BL/6 (B6), has several substrains such as the B6J and the
B6N and many assume them to be genetically identical. However there are genetic and phenotypic
differences between them that can confound interpreting and reproducing results. Join us to learn
more.
10:30-11:30
Inducible Cre-lox - generating reporters and disease models
Cre-lox technology provides a robust, well-characterized platform for generating sophisticated
tissue-specific and inducible mouse models. Join us to learn about using Cre-lox in research studies
of human cancers and neurodegenerative diseases and in labeling specific cell populations and
mosaic and lineage tracing analyses.
12:30-13:30
Humanized NSG™ mice for innovative preclinical research
The NOD™ scid gamma mouse uniquely supports the engraftment of human hematopoietic cells,
enabling the creation of “humanized” NSG™ (hu-NSG™) mice. These mice serve as the state-of-the art
platform for studying immunobiology, infectious diseases, graft-versus-host disease, and transplantation.
