In our barrier facility, we conduct regular monitoring using sentinel mice to test for Class A and B pathogens.
We have received numerous requests for additional testing of Class D pathogens. Therefore, we have decided to implement testing for Class D pathogens once per year in all mouse housing rooms.
Starting from fiscal year 2025, we are conducting serological tests for Class D pathogens using sentinel mice during the first sentinel testing of each fiscal year in each housing room.
For fees related to additional testing of Class D pathogens using other mouse specimens, please refer to section 2 “Fee” at the following link:
