Proper Citation: DF/HCC Specialized Histopathology Services Core (RRID:SCR_000872)
Description:
Core facility that provides the following services: Tissue trimming, cassetting, processing, and embedding, Cutting and staining of paraffin-embedded and cryostat sections, Immunohistochemistry for both routine and novel markers, In situ hybridization, using chromogenic or radioactive detection methods, Laser capture microdissection.
Tissue analysis is critical to validation and evaluation of animal models of human cancer, and human cancer tissues serve as the operating system for translational research. The facility supports a wide spectrum of cancer-relevant research, from basic studies on pathogenic mechanisms in cancer to translational research focused on the development of new tests for biomarkers that stratify patients and direct therapy. The Specialized Histopathology (SHP) Core, was created in 2005 by consolidating five histopathology cores into a single unit with two performance sites: Longwood, Directed by Jon Aster and based at the Brigham and Women?s Hospital and MGH, Directed by Anat Stemmer-Rachamimov and based at Massachusetts General Hospital East in Charlestown. The SHP Core provides professional and technical research pathology services to DF/HCC investigators working in diverse organisms (e.g., rodents, fish, and monkeys) or human tissues. The Core also assists in experimental design and the development and interpretation of tests and their results. As of July 2012, the Longwood site offers CLIA Certified services.
