Introduction
Mouse Model – used to mimic the human disease
Melanoma - serious form of skin cancer
Transgenic Mouse
Human Disease

Hypothesis
The introduction of Human melanoma mutation in mice will induce this disease in mice

Why Mice?
They are genetically similar to human beingsAffordable and easy to maintainAble to reproduce within 3 weeksShort life spanSmall

Genotyping
The process of testing individuals in order to reveal any specific gene that has been inherited from that individual
Includes other methods like PCR, DNA sequencing, and Southern blot
The goal is to understand the functions and roles of genes and to test new therapies in melanoma

Observations & Results
Ink4A WT
Ink4A KO
We were successful in genotyping the mice which we will use for future experiments.

Conclusion and Future Directions
We have identified Heterozygous and KO Ink4a mice.
The Ink4a mice will be crossed with NRas transgenic mice in order to obtain a mouse with melanoma.
