Many biobanks that have stored human clinical biospecimens have been established in Japan since 2005. Those biospecimens were mainly used in academia to perform basic research. The use of those biospeci- mens by industries, especially pharmaceutical or in vitro diagnostic companies, was restricted for ethical rea- sons. In this review, we discuss the importance of the standardization of the quality of biospecimens and workflow at biobanks for the utilization of specimens, and the possibility and issues regarding specimen use by industries.
自2005年以来,日本已建立了许多存储人类临床生物样本的生物样本库。这些生物样本主要用于学术界进行基础研究。出于伦理原因,行业(尤其是制药或体外诊断公司)对这些生物样本的使用受到限制。在本综述中,我们讨论了生物样本库中生物样本质量和工作流程标准化对于样本利用的重要性,以及行业使用样本的可能性和问题。
