RITA (Registry of Industrial Toxicology Animal-data) is a pathology data base for the collection of validated histopathological data on tumours and potentially pre-neoplastic lesions observed in laboratory rodents. To enable a better comparison of information, standardized techniques for the preparation of histological slides have been established for all organs. The current paper describes the guidelines for organ sampling and trimming procedures applied in the RITA project, i.e. the number of sections to be taken, the direction in which an organ should be cut, the localization (anatomical site) from which a sample should be taken, and the size of an organ (or part of an organ) to be placed in cassettes for processing. Schematical illustrations and additional explanations are provided to support the proposed standardized procedures in histology laboratories.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008867 Microtomy The technique of using a microtome to cut thin or ultrathin sections of tissues embedded in a supporting substance. The microtome is an instrument that hold a steel, glass or diamond knife in clamps at an angle to the blocks of prepared tissues, which it cuts in sections of equal thickness.

D009374 Neoplasms, Experimental Experimentally induced new abnormal growth of TISSUES in animals to provide models for studying human neoplasms. Experimental Neoplasms,Experimental Neoplasm,Neoplasm, Experimental
D012042 Registries The systems and processes involved in the establishment, support, management, and operation of registers, e.g., disease registers. Parish Registers,Population Register,Parish Register,Population Registers,Register, Parish,Register, Population,Registers, Parish,Registers, Population,Registry
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D015197 Carcinogenicity Tests Tests to experimentally measure the tumor-producing/cancer cell-producing potency of an agent by administering the agent (e.g., benzanthracenes) and observing the quantity of tumors or the cell transformation developed over a given period of time. The carcinogenicity value is usually measured as milligrams of agent administered per tumor developed. Though this test differs from the DNA-repair and bacterial microsome MUTAGENICITY TESTS, researchers often attempt to correlate the finding of carcinogenicity values and mutagenicity values.
