The Wistar Special Collection was established in 1998 as a cooperative effort between The Wistar Institute (Philadelphia, PA) and ATCC. The goal of this effort is to establish and preserve a premier collection of biological materials from the Wistar Institute and distribute these materials through ATCC to the wider scientific community.
The Wistar Institute, a National Cancer Institute Cancer Center, is the oldest independent medical research facility in the United States. Discoveries made by Wistar researchers Include rabies and German measles vaccines, interleukin-12, and the first monoclonal antibody for the treatment of cancer. The WistarRat and the HepG2 and WI-38 cell lines were all developed at the Wistar Institute.
Among the materials in the Wistar Special collection are vascular cell lines, melanoma cell lines, and hybridomas. A complete listing of the collection follows.
Some of the cell lines in this collection require a special Material Transfer Agreement (MTA). For these cell lines (indicated by * below), you must print out, sign (you and an appropriate representative from your institution), and send or fax the MTA to your local sales office before your order can be processed. Should you have any questions, please contact your local sales office.
