The Exercise Immunology Laboratory is equipped with table top centrifuge, Molecular Devices V max kinetic microplate reader, chemical hood, Leitz dissecting scope, Leitz binocular microscope, vibratome sectioning equipment, GE refrigerator, pH meter, digital balance, water bath and assorted small equipment. This space is equipped for tissue culture and contains a laminar flow hood and CO2 incubator. Additionally, a -80 degree Centigrade freezer and liquid nitrogen tank allows for long-term storage of human and rodent cell and tissue samples. The animal facility is located in the Wayne Rollins Research Center across from the exercise immunology laboratory. Two animal treadmills (to exercise mice) are placed here to ensure that the mice are exercised in the same environment as they are housed. BSL-2 and BSL-3 rooms are available in this facility for housing infected animals.
