The program has already supported research of over 35 groups across the National Institutes of Health, who study the metaorganism in the context of health, cancer, parasitic infection, and many other disease states. In order to conduct these studies on human and murine samples, we extensively use germ free and gnotobiotic mice housed in gnotobiotic isolators in our facility.� The Gnotobiotic Animal Facility of the NIAID Microbiome Program has recently purchased an Allentown Sentry SPP cage and rack system as well as a biological safety cabinet with a sealed transfer chamber (Allentown SC Plus Biosafety Cabinet) to perform out of isolator experimental manipulation of germ free or gnotobiotic mice.
