Requesting Cell-lines : Download MTAs

Investigators may request up to 3 cell lines (cumulative overall requests) with minimal paper work. Between 3 and 10 lines requires justification and local review and >10 lines requires a formal application and approval by the appropriate COG committee.

The prioritization of how material is distributed will be determined by the COG Disease Committees and the COG Biology and Translational Research Committee.

Some previously published cell lines, with originating investigator approval, will be characterized by the COG Cell Culture and Xenograft Repository laboratories, and made available through this web site.

Questions about the Cell Culture and Xenograft Repository can be directed to CellRequest@cogcell.org.

As of February 2011, a revised MTA was finalized to encompass most concerns that were raised in the past. The MTA is final and no changes will be possible. If you still have questions regarding the MTA, you can email CellLineInfo@cogcell.org for clarification.
