| Research Abstract |
The results of this two-year co-operative research indicate that at the present the following methods on information, quality control, transportation of laboratory animals are best for the mutual utilization of the animals between the different institutions.
(1) Construction and use of database. The distribution of diskette which is operated by MS-DOS is the most effective to use the database on the laboratory animals, because most institutions have installed microcomputers which operated by the system but not on-line operated computer system.
(2) Quality control of animals. ELISA kit for the detection of the antibodies against the specific pathogens is simple and effective for microbiological quality control. Enzyme electrophoresis by a simple device which developed during this research could be used for genetic quality control of mice and rats.
(3) Transportation of animals. Non-frozen and frozen embryos can be transferred between the institutions. The methods are promised future use for the transportation of animals.
