Repository
Mission and Organization
The USIDNET DNA and Cell Repository has been established as part of an NIH-funded program - the US Immunodeficiency Network (www.usidnet.org ) - to provide a resource of DNA and functional lymphoid cells obtained from patients with various primary immunodeficiency diseases. These uncommon disorders include patients with defects in T cell, B cell and/or granulocyte function as well as patients with abnormalities in antibodies/immunoglobulins, complement and other host defense mechanisms.
All samples in this Repository have been de-identified to protect the privacy of the individual donors. The USIDNET also operates a Patient Data Registry in addition to this Repository and certain clinical data relating to a specific sample may be available through the Registry for some of the patient samples in the Repository collection.
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.
