This page describes the ordering process for the established cell lines of the 4DN Cell Repository. The established cell lines specifically refer to the cell lines that have been approved by the Cell Line WG, 4DN steering committee, NIH, and have been ordered by OH or created by 4DN appointed groups.
Please note that there are additional cell lines that are under discussion by the Cell Line WG.
Availability of Tier 1 cell lines from WiCell, Coriell, and ATCC
Eligibility information for PIs who are new to 4DN Cell Repository
For access to 4DN Cell Repository cells, please see 4DN Cell Repository wiki page for the available cell lines and the ordering process. Importantly, the 4DN Cell Line Working Group has established a protocol that specifies which 4DN PIs are eligible for ordering what cell lines. To become eligible, please send a letter via email to David Gilbert gilbert@bio.fsu.edu, co-chair of Cell Line Working group, and copy Kate Rivera-Noel oh@4dnucleome.org, a member of the 4DN Cell Line Working group.
Content of your request letter In your letter please provide your name, institution, the 4DN cell lines that you would like to access and briefly state your proposed use of these cells. Please also include a statement that the data generated from 4DN cell lines will be released according to the 4DN consortium data submission and release policy.
Review of your letter After receiving your request letter, the 4DN Cell Line Working group will discuss your eligibility, and once you are approved by the Cell Line working group, you will be notified and more importantly you will see your name in the “current PI list who have requested this cell line” on 4DN wiki. Consent for lines isolated prior to January 15, 2015 -~~CKG_TABLE_NBSP~~DISCLAIMER~~CKG_TABLE_NBSP~~Posting of public data from specimens collected before January 15, 2015 is the responsibility of and must be approved by each PIs institution. A dditional questions about Consent should be addressed by individual PIs with their institutions.

Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs) -~~CKG_TABLE_NBSP~~DISCLAIMER~~CKG_TABLE_NBSP~~
MTAs are the responsibility of each PI and their institution and are to be negotiated separately between each institution and the distributor. Additional questions about MTAs should be addressed by individual PIs with their institutions. The document below is a list of salient points from the MTAs between the OH (UCSD) and the three major providers, provided to 4DN PIs for your convenience as a courtesy and not to be considered a binding document.

ARE YOU ENGINEERING ANY OF THE 4DN CELL LINES? - please see this discussion group of who is engineering what so as not to duplicate effort or work together! ~~CKG_TABLE_NBSP~~How to Order Tier 1 and Tier 2 Cells
IMPORTANT! The H1 (WiCell), GM12878 (Coriell), and IMR90 (ATCC) cell lines have been ordered and paid through the 4DN Organization Hub (UC San Diego). WTC-11 is available for purchase at Coriell, the only source of these cells. Each Principal Investigator is responsible for completing and signing the MTAs and for payment of shipping and handling of the cells.
Before thawing the cells
DATASETS GENERATED USING THE APPROVED SOP PRECISELY AND PROVIDING THE REQUISITE METADATA WILL BE MARKED “GOLD STANDARD” - IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE PROTOCOLS STRICTLY THEN YOUR DATASETS WILL NOT BE DESIGNATED “GOLD STANDARD”. MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE CELLS WIKI PAGE EACH TIME YOU START AN EXPERIMENT FOR ANY UPDATES ON REAGENTS, ETC.!!
