This report is to make the general scientific community aware of availability of human tissues through this network. During the short period of its existence, this network has developed useful procedures for distributing human tumor tissue in a rapid, scientifically useful, cost-effective manner to investigators to whom this tissue would not otherwise be available. The growth in the number of specimens being distributed matches the previous experience of each of the member institutions in internal distribution activities. It is expected that the availability of tissue will lead to new research initiatives and grant applications. This Network has been established as a model which can in the future be expanded to meet the needs of the scientific community at large. The National Cancer Institute encourages investigators engaging in cancer research who have need of human tissues to submit their requests to the Cooperative Human Tissue Network.
本报告旨在让广大科学界了解通过该网络可获取人类组织的情况。在其存在的短时间内,该网络已开发出有用的程序,能够以快速、科学实用且具有成本效益的方式,将人类肿瘤组织分发给那些原本无法获得此类组织的研究人员。所分发标本数量的增长与各成员机构以往内部分发活动的经验相符。预计组织的可获取性将引发新的研究计划和资助申请。该网络已被确立为一个模式,未来可加以扩展以满足整个科学界的需求。美国国立癌症研究所鼓励从事癌症研究且需要人类组织的研究人员向合作人类组织网络提交申请。
