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.

If you wish to change specifics on the COG MTA, you must negotiate directly with the COG attorney. Email celllineinfo@cogcell.org for how to proceed if you seek changes. Please be aware that negotiations will take a while and could delay receiving the cell lines for a long time. Currently, a revised COG MTA is being developed to encompass most concerns that might be raised. Once the MTA is completed, it will be final and no changes will be possible.
