Description CIPHE is a facility hosted at the INSERM US12/CNRS/Aix-Marseille Université UMS3367 research unit. The facility is dedicated to create innovative customized mouse models to be delivered under a specified and opportunistic pathogen free status (SOPF). CIPHE notably allows analyzing the immune system of the mouse under normal and infectious conditions. Thanks to its expertise at the crossroads between mouse genetics and immunology, CIPHE actively contributes to the research advances in knock-in and knock-out mouse models to understand the nature of the "molecular machines" that determine the function of the cells participating to the immune system.
