Repository

The USIDNET DNA and Cell Repository was established to provide a resource of DNA and functional lymphoid cells obtained from patients with various rare primary immunodeficiency diseases.

These disorders include patients with defects in T cell, B cell, and/or granulocyte function as well as patients with abnormalities in immunoglobulins, complement and other host defense mechanisms.

Coriell Institute acts as USIDNET's Repository which contains only de-identified materials. The Repository does not have information allowing it to identify the donor of a specific sample. Materials in the collection are made available to qualified investigators in academic and commercial organizations to increase understanding and to promote development of new treatments for these disorders. .

Requestors wishing to obtain additional clinical data specific to the samples in the Repository can request that information by calling 215-862-6374 and asking for Dr. Michael Blaese.
