THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on August 17, 2011. The US government contract funding the National Stem Cell Bank (NSCB) ended on February 28, 2010.
A repository for the pluripotent stem cells lines listed on the NIH Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Registry. These cells were derived prior to August 2001 using excess IVF embryos and were eligible for use in federally funded research under previous presidential policy. The eligibility of these lines will not be known until the NIH issues final stem cell guidelines in July 2009. The goal of the NSCB is to grow, characterize and distribute the cell lines listed on the registry, and to provide comprehensive technical support to stem cell researchers around the world.
Starting February 2, 2010, these materials can be ordered from the Wisconsin International Stem Cell Bank (the WISC Bank) operated by WiCell Research Institute, for delivery after February 28, 2010.

https://sfari.org/resources/simons-simplex-collection

Repository of genetic samples from approximately 3,000 families, each of which has one child affected with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and parents unaffected with ASD. A central database characterizing all of the study subjects is available to any qualified researcher and biospecimens are freely available to SFARI grant holders, and to other researchers on a modest fee-for-use basis. Each genetic sample will have an associated collection of data that provides a precise characterization of the individual (phenotype). Rigorous phenotyping will maximize the value of the resource for a wide variety of future research projects into the causes and mechanisms of autism. The Simons Simplex Collection is operated by SFARI in collaboration with twelve university-affiliated research clinics.

http://ccr.coriell.org/Sections/Collections/NIGMS/?SsId=8

Highly characterized cell lines and high quality DNA for cell and genetic research representing a variety of disease states, chromosomal abnormalities, apparently healthy individuals and many distinct human populations. The NIGMS Repository contains more than 10,600 cell lines, primarily fibroblasts and transformed lymphoblasts, and over 5,500 DNA samples. The NIGMS Repository has a major emphasis on heritable diseases and chromosomally aberrant cell lines. In addition, it contains a large collection dedicated to understanding human variation that includes samples from populations around the world, the CEPH collection, the Polymorphism Discovery Resource, and many apparently healthy controls. Human induced pluripotent stem cell lines, many of which were derived from NIGMS Repository fibroblasts, have recently become available through the NIGMS Repository. Sample donation facilitates all areas of research by making available well-characterized materials to any qualified researcher who might have otherwise been unable to invest the time and resources to collect needed samples independently. Donations to the Repository have created a resource of unparalleled scope. Samples from the collection have been used in more than 5,500 publications and are distributed to scientists in more than 50 countries. This resource is continuously expanding to support new directions in human genetics.

Division of NCI that takes prospective cancer detection and treatment leads, facilitates their paths to clinical application, and expedites the initial and subsequent large-scale testing of new agents, biomarkers, imaging tests, and other therapeutic interventions (radiation, surgery, immunotherapy) in patients. DCTD, like all of NCI, supports many programs that could not be done without government funding - investigators supported by the division engage in scientifically sound, high-risk research that may yield great benefits for patients with cancer, but are too difficult or risky for industry or academia to pursue. This includes a particular emphasis on the development of distinct molecular signatures for cancer, refined molecular assays, and state-of-the-art imaging techniques that will guide oncologic therapy in the future. The division has eight major programs that work together to bring unique molecules, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic interventions from the laboratory bench to the patient bedside: * Cancer Diagnosis Program * Cancer Imaging Program * Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program * Developmental Therapeutics Program * Radiation Research Program * Translational Research Program * Biometrics Research Branch * Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine

http://www.roslin.ed.ac.uk/about-roslin/

The world''s largest collection of tick cell lines, enabling scientists to carry out advanced research. This biobank is establishing a collection of all the continuous cell lines derived from ixodid and argasid ticks of medical and veterinary importance available worldwide now and in future. Ticks are blood feeding arthropods which transmit many human and animal diseases. Research into prevention and cure of these diseases, which are caused by viruses, bacteria and protozoa, is greatly assisted by the use of cell culture systems which enable study of both how tick cells function, and how and why ticks transmit these disease-causing pathogens. Cell lines will always be shipped to recipient laboratories as growing cultures, since we cannot guarantee successful resuscitation of frozen stabilates. Tick cells in culture can tolerate the range of temperatures experienced during transit by air for up to a week. Training: We will provide training in tick cell line care and maintenance. This is an essential component of successful transfer of tick cells to, and their establishment in, laboratories with little or no previous experience of tick cell culture. Recipient scientists (preferably the person who will actually look after the cells) can visit the biobank for between 2 days and 2 weeks, depending on their level of previous experience, to be trained in the specific approach and methods for tick cell cultivation. Establishment of new cell lines: In response to requests and on receipt of suitable starting material (engorged female or moulting nymphal ticks), we will attempt to establish new cell lines from tick species or strains which are not already represented in the collection. Deposition of new tick cell lines: We invite researchers anywhere in the world who have established new tick cell lines to deposit samples for safekeeping free of charge and, if requested, for distribution alongside the existing biobank portfolio.

http://www.stanford.edu/group/nolan/retroviral_systems/phx.html

A second-generation retrovirus producer lines for the generation of helper free ecotropic and amphotropic retroviruses. The lines are based on the 293T cell line (a human embryonic kidney line transformed with adenovirus E1a and carrying a temperature sensitive T antigen co-selected with neomycin). The unique feature of this cell line is that it is highly transfectable with either calcium phosphate mediated transfection or lipid-based transfection protocols-- up to 50% or higher of cells can be transiently transfected. The lines were created by placing into 293T cells constructs capable of producing gag-pol, and envelope protein for ecotropic and amphotropic viruses. The lines offered advantages over previous stable systems in that virus can be produced in just a few days. Academic and non-profit laboratories may obtain the Phoenix cells from either Allele Biotechnology or the National Gene Vector Bank. The vectors may be obtained from Addgene. They are no longer distributing these reagents from the lab.

NeuroDevNet, a Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE), is dedicated to helping children overcome neurodevelopmental disorders. Network investigators seek to understand the causes of neurological deficits, and to transfer this knowledge to health care professionals, policy makers, and communities of interest. NeuroDevNet works with its partners in academia, the community, not-for-profit sector, industry, and government, and across traditional disciplinary boundaries and sectors, to ensure generated knowledge is translated into tangible diagnostic, preventative, therapeutic, social, economic, and health benefits for all. NeuroDevNet supports transformative research, provides training to build a new generation of Canadian researchers, strengthens communities with the right tools and information, and translates research findings into early diagnostic, preventative, and therapeutic strategies for children with neurological disorders to live healthier lives. Currently, the network''s research focuses on autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. These demonstration projects are supported by NeuroDevNet''s central infrastructure and cores, including Neuroethics, Neuroinformatics, and Knowledge Translation.
