Morphology CoreThe Morphology Core is an independent and fully equipped laboratory capable of conducting a wide array ofstudies necessary to characterize tissue and cell morphology, as well as localize transgene and transgeneproducts. This Core is directed by Dr. Peter Bell and is housed in 800 square feet of dedicated space andincludes two fluorescent microscopes, one electron microscope, and all the equipment necessary to processtissues and cells for a wide array of histological analysis. The Core will provide extensive support to all threeof the projects in the area of 1) preparation of tissues for histopathologic analysis, 2) special stains for moredetailed characterization of pathologic specimens, 3) analysis of tissues for transgene expression using insitu hybridization and histochemical analysis of reporter genes [GFP and OTC]; 4) image analysis of GFP inwhole liver and liver sections using the Xenogen technology; and 5) EM analysis of vector preps.Lay description. Each project will receive support from the Morphology Core in the analysis of tissues fortoxicity and vector gene expression.
