In June 2013, Canadian Blood Services (CBS) established the National Public Cord Blood Bank (NPCBB) accessible to Canadian and international patients and researchers. The NPCBB promotes efforts that contribute to research and improved clinical care by making units not suitable for banking or transplantation available for research. In the context of the NPCBB of the CBS, this article will focus on the practical tools (e.g., consent protocols) developed to optimize umbilical cord blood (UCB) banking and research while enabling ethical provenance of UCB stem cells. The Canadian approach represents an ideal model for comparison as it is a country in which the national public bank (and other regional/provincial public banks) coexists with private companies.
2013 年 6 月,加拿大血液服务中心(CBS)建立了国家公共脐血库(NPCBB),可供加拿大和国际患者和研究人员使用。NPCBB 通过为研究提供不适于存储或移植的单位,促进了有助于研究和改善临床护理的工作。在 CBS 的 NPCBB 背景下,本文将重点介绍为优化脐血(UCB)存储和研究而开发的实用工具(例如同意书协议),同时确保 UCB 干细胞的伦理来源。加拿大的方法是一个理想的比较模式,因为它是一个国家公共银行(和其他地区/省级公共银行)与私营公司并存的国家。
