这将为许多研究人员提供新的研究资源，并有助于减少研究界所需的NHP数量，因为多个研究人员将能够利用每只动物。该组织将允许研究人员在一个与人类密切相关的模型中测试假设，通过提供获取NHP组织的途径，而无需花费获取和饲养动物的费用。这是这个项目的一个极其重要的方面，因为一般来说，NHP的供应，尤其是恒河猴，非常有限。组织将在严格控制的程序下收集，以确保组织的完整性。为了适应广泛的分子和组织化学技术的需要，组织将被快速冷冻而不固定或固定并嵌入。

This will provide a new research resource to many investigators and contribute to a reduction in the number of NHP needed by the research community since multiple investigators will be able to take advantage of each animal. The tissue will allow investigators to test hypotheses in a model closely related to humans by providing access to NHP tissue without the expense of obtaining and housing the animals. This is an extremely important aspect of this project, as the supply of NHP in general, and rhesus macaques in particular, is very limited. The tissues will be collected under strictly controlled protocols to ensure the integrity of the tissue. Tissue will be flash-frozen without fixation or fixed and embedded, to fit the needs of a wide-range of molecular and histochemical techniques.
