B -- BIOCHEMICAL GENETIC MONITORING OF RODENTS SOL NO2-CM-87014 POC Patricia A. White, (301) 846-1113 The Biological Testing Program (BTP), Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP), Division of Cancer Treatment, Diagnosis and Centers (DCTDC), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is seeking organizations having the capability to provide a genetic monitoring resource for the BTP. Genetic monitoring for quality assurance will accompany the long standing efforts in microbiological quality, in order that each animal produced from rederived stock, under our production contracts, is as well defined as possible.
