CORE--TUMOR BANK

肿瘤库核心设施将收集并保存以下患者的冷冻样本： 脑肿瘤和丢弃的正常脑组织样本， 手术 将对组织进行组织学定义和分类。 样品 将可用于分子生物学和免疫学 表位和受体表征。 此外，一小部分 每个肿瘤将被培养并作为外植体携带。 理想情况下，每个 肿瘤将具有实体原发性肿瘤和可用于 research.

The Tumor Bank Core Facility will collect and maintain frozen samples of brain tumor and discarded samples of normal brain tissue removed at surgery. Tissues will be histologically defined and cataloged. Samples will be made available for molecular biologic as well as for immunologic epitope and receptor characterizations. In addition, a small portion of each tumor will be cultured and carried as an explant. Ideally, every tumor will have both solid primary tumor and explants available for research.
