Ethics approval
: The animal care facilities and programs at the University of Virginia meet the requirements of the law and NIH regulations. The UVA vivariums are fully AAALAC accredited facilities. These are overseen by a full-time veterinarian. It is a barrier facility with HEPA-filtered air and autoclaved food and bedding is available. 24 h monitoring and care of the animals is provided by the staff. The Munson lab holds an ACUC approval for breast cancer related work, Protocol 0489 for a three-year period beginning August 2015. All of our cell lines were commercially purchased and therefore did not require ethics approval for our use.
