NCI Cooperative Breast Cancer Tissue Resource
(CBCTR)
The NCI Cooperative Breast Cancer Tissue Resource can
provide researchers with access to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded
primary breast cancer tissues, with associated pathology and clinical
data. The collection is particularly well-suited for validation studies
of diagnostic and prognostic markers. Interested researchers may
perform searches of the database on the CBCTRs World Wide Web site at
http://www.icic.nci.nih.gov/cbctr/index.html to determine if tissues
appropriate for their experiments exist within the Resource and apply
to the Resource for the use of these tissues. For further information,
contact Ms. Marianna Bledsoe, Resources Development Branch, Cancer
Diagnosis Program, Division of Cancer Treatment, Diagnosis and Centers,
NCI. Phone: (301) 496-7147; e-mail: mb80s@nih.gov.
NCI-NAPBC Breast Cancer Specimen and Data
Information System
This database, which is available on the World Wide
Web (http://cancernet.nci.gov/breastdata), contains a listing of
institutions that are willing to provide breast cancer specimens and/or
data to biomedical researchers.
NCI Cooperative Family Registry for Breast Cancer
Studies (CFRBCS)
This resource provides biological specimens from
participants with a family history of breast cancer, breast/ovarian
cancer, or Li-Fraumoni syndrome, and their relatives. Related family
history (pedigrees), clinical, demographic and epidemiologic data on

NCI AIDS Malignancy Bank (AMB)
The NCI AIDS Malignancy Bank is a collection of
tissues and biological fluids with associated clinical and follow-up
data from patients with HIV-related malignancies. The bank has an

treatment data on patients from whom tissues were obtained. Additional
information may be obtained from the World Wide Web at
http://www.icic.nci.nih.gov/amb/amb.html, or Dr. Ellen Feigal,

Diagnosis and Centers, NCI. Phone: (301) 496-2522; Fax (301) 402-0557;
e-mail: ef30d@nih.gov. Additional AIDS oncology information may be
obtained on the World Wide Web at http://ctep.info.nih.gov by selecting
AIDS Oncology Resources.
Other human tissue resources may be available from the NCI through collaborative arrangements. For further information, please contact Ms. Marianna Bledsoe, Resources Development Branch, Cancer Diagnosis Program, Division of Cancer Treatment, Diagnosis and Centers, NCI.

Foundation
A portion (1/3) of all stored non-renewable samples
(plasma, serum, urine) from subjects enrolled in the Diabetes Control
and Complications Trial (DCCT) is available for use by the scientific
community to address questions for which these samples may be
invaluable. Further information regarding this resource is available
through the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, vol. 26, no.
1, January 10, 1997. Inquiries may be addressed to: Catherine
C. Cowie, Ph.D., IDDM Clinical Trials Program, NIDDK, 45 Center Drive,
Room 5AN24A, Bethesda, MD 20892-6600. Phone: (301) 594-8804; fax: (301)

NICHD - Brain and Tissue Bank for Developmental
Disorders
The purpose of the Bank is to collect, preserve, and
distribute human tissues to investigators interested in autism and
developmental disorders; normal tissues may be available for other
research purposes. The contact persons are H. Ron Zielke or Sally
Wisniewsky, Univ. Maryland (1-800-847-1539) and Carol Petito or
Stephanie Lojko, Univ. Miami (1-800-592-7246).
NCRR - National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI)
The National Disease Research Interchange provides retrieval and
distribution of normal and diseased human tissues and organs for
biomedical researchers. Over 165 different types of human tissue are
procured from autopsies, eye banks, surgical procedures, and organ
retrieval programs. For further information, contact the NDRI at
1880 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, 6th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
