Overview

NCI maintains a low temperature repository of implantable in vivo-derived tumors and in vitro-established tumor cell lines from various species, which are available to qualified investigators as a service to the cancer research community. The DCTD Tumor Repository serves as a resource for viable, pathogen-screened experimental tumor lines, many of which are not available elsewhere. These materials are of guinea pig, hamster, human, mouse, rabbit, or rat origin, and have a variety of tumor histologies. The repository also has canine specimens (paraffin blocks, tissue slides, flash frozen tissue, blood, etc.) from both normal tissues and tumors.

Please find the materials the DCTD Tumor Repository distributes here: DCTD Tumor Repository Catalog
