维持非人灵长类（NHP）生殖组织库，以提供雄性和雌性 生殖道组织从猕猴到研究人员与积极或待定的赠款在NICHD。组织， 运输和处理费用由NICHD/NIH通过合作协议U 54 HD 18185支持， 生殖研究专业中心计划（SCCPRR）。该银行由一个 Revco-80 C冷冻机、计算机、解剖显微镜、无菌罩、实验室助理和主管 他们在ONPRC监控和收集尸检和手术中的组织。采集的样本，样本 通过位于NIH服务器上的安全网络数据库跟踪邮寄的请求和样本。 PI在NHP生殖组织库网站的设计中发挥了重要作用。此外该 网站可供所有具有登录功能的SCCPRR研究者访问，以筛选组织可用性 并要求组织。该网站还链接到狒狒生殖道组织的供应 位于芝加哥大学U 54中心（A. Fazleabas，PI）。我们收集了大量的冰冻的 组织在这个时候，我们正在收集和固定组织之前，邮寄的要求，几个 investigators. Bethea和Stouffer博士还收集了大脑、垂体和卵巢组织， 在特定处理之后或在特定阶段收集的数据，可以在合作的基础上获得。

The Nonhuman Primate (NHP) Reproductive Tissue Bank is maintained to provide male and female reproductive tract tissue from macaques to investigators with active or pending grants at NICHD. The tissue, shipping and handling costs are supported by NICHD/NIH through cooperative agreement U54 HD 18185 as part of the Specialized Centers Program in Reproduction Research (SCCPRR). The bank consists of a Revco -80C freezer, a computer, a dissecting microscope, a sterile hood, a lab assistant and the supervisor who monitor and collect tissue from necropsies and surgeries at the ONPRC. Samples collected, sample requests and samples mailed are tracked through a secure web-based database located on a server at NIH. The PI was instrumental in the design of the web site for the NHP Reproductive Tissue Bank. In addition, the web site is accessable to all SCCPRR investigators with Iogin capabilities for screening tissue availability and requesting tissue. The website is also linked to a supply of reproductive tract tissue from baboons located at the University of Chicago U54 Center (A. Fazleabas, PI). We have a large collection of frozen tissues at this time and we are collecting and fixing tissue prior to mailing upon the request of several investigators. Drs. Bethea and Stouffer also maintain collections of brain, pituitary and ovarian tissue, often collected after specific treatments or at specific stages, that are available on a collaborative basis.
