COLLECTION, ADVERTISEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF BIOLOGICAL RESPO

BRB运营一个临床前存储库，用于获取、存储、分配和分发大量细胞因子、单克隆抗体、抗血清、细胞因子标准品和其他有用的研究试剂。该设施的目的是为非营利性和合格的商业机构的科学家提供高质量的生物试剂。储存库中的大部分试剂是由调查人员和公司捐赠给NCI的，目的是使它们广泛地提供给科学界。最近对科学文献的扫描发现，同行评议期刊上有超过87篇文章承认BRB临床前知识库的贡献，这证明了该知识库在支持研究进步和有用疗法的临床前开发方面的使命取得了成功。在美国，收到材料的非营利调查人员不收取任何费用，节省运费。承包商向外国和商业机构的收件人收取处理费和包装费，以支付这些费用。BRB临床前存储库网站提供了一种查看可用试剂库存和在线订购的简便方法。1996年4月至2008年8月期间，库承包商代表NCI向数百家机构分发了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.
