COLLECTION, ADVERTISEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF BIOLOGICAL RESPO

BRB运营着一个临床前储存库，该储存库获得、存储、等量和分发大量细胞因子、单抗、抗血清、细胞因子标准和其他有用的研究试剂。该设施的目的是为非营利性机构和合格的商业机构的科学家提供高质量的生物试剂。储存库中的大多数试剂都是由调查人员和公司捐赠给NCI的，以便向科学界广泛提供。最近对科学文献的扫描发现，同行评议期刊中有87多篇文章承认了BRB临床前资料库的贡献，这证明了该资料库支持研究进步和临床前有用疗法开发的使命取得了成功。除了运费外，在美国接受材料的非营利性调查人员不收取任何费用。承包商向外国和商业机构的收件人收取手续费和包装费，以弥补这些费用。BRB临床前资料库网站提供了一种查看可用试剂库存和在线下订单的简单方法。在1996年4月至2008年8月期间，储存库承包商代表NCI向数百个机构分发了43,000多瓶试剂。

The BRB operates a Preclinical Repository that obtains, stores, aliquots and distributes bulk cytokines, monoclonal antibodies, antisera, cytokine standards and other useful research reagents. The purpose of the facility is to provide high quality biological reagents for scientists at non-profit as well as qualified commercial establishments. The majority of the reagents in the repository were donated to the NCI by investigators and corporations in order to make them widely available to the scientific community. A recent scan of the scientific literature identifies more than 87 publications in peer-reviewed journals that acknowledge the contribution of the BRB Preclinical Repository, a testimony to the success of the repository's mission to support the advancement of research and the pre-clinical development of useful therapeutics. There is no charge to not-for-profit investigators in the USA who receive the materials, save for the cost of shipping. Recipients in foreign countries and at commercial establishments are charged a handling and packaging fee by the contractor to cover those costs. The BRB Preclinical Repository Website provides an easy means to view the inventory of available reagents and place orders online. Between April 1996 and August 2008 the repository contractor distributed, on behalf of the NCI, over 43,000 vials of reagents to hundreds of institutions.
