CORE--TUMOR BANK

肿瘤库核心设施将收集和维护冷冻的样本 脑瘤和正常脑组织的废弃样本在 做手术。将对组织进行组织学定义和分类。样本 将用于分子生物学和免疫学 表位和受体特性。此外，还有一小部分 每个肿瘤都将被培养并作为外植体携带。理想情况下，每个 肿瘤将同时拥有实体原发肿瘤和可用于治疗的植体 研究。

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.
