This technically difficult process is done with the aid of a micro injector, which uses air pressure to aid in the introduction of the desired amount of DNA. Once the embryos are injected they are implanted into foster mothers. Experienced personnel, under a leica dissection scope, perform this microsurgical technique.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Please visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bumc.bu.edu\/transgenic\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> for more information on all of our services, or contact us for scientific help needed to pursue your project.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:kha@bu.edu\">Kenn Albrecht, PhD<\/a><br \/>\nScientific Director<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:jmmn@bu.edu\">John Mkandawire<\/a><br \/>\nCore Manager<br \/>\nPhone: (617) 638-5270<br \/>\nFax: (617) 638-5271<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Location<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Center for Advance Biomedical Research (CABR)<br \/>\n700 Albany Street, Room 917<br \/>\nBoston, MA 02118<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Leitz Inverted Microscope is used at our Transgenic Facility to\u00a0perform embryonic injections of DNA or embryonic stem cells for the production of genetically altered animal models.\u00a0Leitz Inverted Microscope gives the injectionist the 3 dimensional views necessary for the introduction of DNA or ES cells into an embryo.
