THE NATIONAL CELL CULTURE CENTER NIH GUIDE, Volume 25, Number 18, June 7, 1996 P.T. 32 Keywords: Cell Lines National Center for Research Resources The National Cell Culture Center is a resource facility that provides large-scale mammalian cell culture services. The Center, available to researchers throughout the United States and Canada, has been established to alleviate the shortage of facilities and expertise required to meet the cell culture needs of the biomedical research community. Specifically, the Cell Culture Center supports basic biomedical research by providing investigators with the following customized services: o Large quantity production of mammalian cells in suspension or monolayer cultures. Quantities range from 1 to 200 liters per day. o Large quantity production of monoclonal antibodies. Quantities range from 0.5 to 100 grams. o Large quantity production of non-hybridoma cell secreted proteins. Quantities vary depending on individual cell lines. A request form, obtained from the Cell Culture Center, must be submitted with a description of the relevant research project. After the request form is reviewed, the cell line is sent to the Center, and grown to the requested amount. Researchers are charged only for the consumable materials and a portion of the labor costs required for each project. The Cell Culture Center is supported by a cooperative agreement award from the National Center for Research Resources, NIH.
