# Viral Testing Core

> **NIH NIH U42** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT DAVIS · 2020 · $245,874

## Abstract

Abstract
The Viral Testing Core works closely with the Husbandry and Management Core to support the development
and maintenance of the CNPRC SPF colony. The Core works collaboratively with the CNPRC Primate Assay
Laboratory (PAL) to provide laboratory testing services, interpretation, troubleshooting and consultation to
ensure that the colony remains free of the specified pathogens. The PAL has an excellent record designing and
validating both in laboratory developed and commercial tests for these purposes. The PAL works with its
counterpart laboratories throughout the NIH NPRC system to ensure that maximum accuracy standards are
upheld. During the next grant period, the Viral Testing Core and PAL will work together to continue to evaluate
and enhance existing testing protocols, reagents, and algorithms for maximum performance quality and
efficiency. In addition, they will monitor emerging research discoveries and trends to provide testing for new
animal models as warranted.
