## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY 
Pulmonary Immunopathology (PIP) core offers expertise and technical support for investigators in the COBRE 
program. The goal of the proposed PIP Core is to provide animal and equipment facilities and specialized 
training for COBRE PJIs in pulmonary immunopathological techniques and to develop new experimental 
approaches that will assist Promising Junior Investigators (PJls) and other NIH-funded investigators to 
successfully pursue their research objectives. The establishment of this core will facilitate collaboration among 
investigators and members of the biomedical research community in Louisiana. This core will also 
educate our underrepresented minority (URM) undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral 
fellows, summer scholars (DVM Students) with the application and the current advances in pulmonary 
immunology through lectures, laboratory classes, and workshops. In order to ensure the success of the 
COBRE in Lung Biology and Disease and of our COBRE PJIs, establishment of the PIP Core is essential to 
meet the current and future needs of LSU and other institutions because this is the only PIP core in the state of 
Louisiana. Thus, the PIP Core is intended to be a permanent core at LSU that we will establish, expand, and 
transit to an independent core during the 15-year COBRE support. The PIP Core has established 3 specific 
aims. Aim 1 is to centralize management of wild-type (control) and mouse genetically engineered mouse 
colonies and immunological reagents. Aim 2 is to provide the COBRE and other biomedical investigators with 
resources on comprehensive immunopathological assessments for mice, including instrumentation, technical 
support and consultation. Aim 3 is to educate faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, 
undergraduate students and summer scholars regarding the application and the current advances in 
immunopathological assessments for mice.
