Description of service

As partner of TRANSVAC, IRTA will provide access to their animal facilities (CReSA) to carry out safety and immunogenicity studies of new candidate vaccines and/or of novel vaccination (administration) strategies in mice, chickens, pigs, ferrets and other large animal species. The access will comprise purchase of animals, the housing and animal care and biotechnical expertise for administration and sampling. Scientific support will include advice on experimental design and methodology, documentation of results for all experiments conducted during the project, and appropriate sampling and conservation of samples. In depth laboratory analyses can be included or not, offering at this way three types of access: only animal facilities, only laboratory facilities, and both. IRTA will also provide the required legal approvals and ethical approval.
