Mission, Goals, Capabilities
To provide outstanding full range
histopathology services complemented by
access to unique banked tissue collections and
Laser Capture Microdissection of tissues to
capture individual cells for KCC members and
external users. The Translational
Research/Pathology Shared Resource Facility
is used by over 100 investigators and has
provided key data that support numerous
publications and grant applications.
The facility provides a full range of
histopathological services including sample
processing, slide preparation and staining of
human and animal tissues or cell samples.
Automated processing and tissue stainers
provide highly reproducible results and allow
co-registration of staining in the facility with
analysis carried out in clinical pathology
laboratories. Immunohistochemical staining is
performed on paraffin sections, frozen tissue or
cytologic preparations, utilizing a broad range
of optimized commercial antibodies or
antibodies provided by the investigator to be
optimized.
