DLS - Laboratory Practice Evaluation and Genomics Branch Genetic Testing
- Project Information (Research)

Develop and pilot test a process to collect positive samples and the establishment of stably transformed cell lines suitable for use in performance evaluation/quality assurance of human molecular genetic tests.
 
Type: Contract with Duke University School of Medicine
(#200-2000-10050)
 
Goal(s):
   The aim of this effort was to develop a process for developing positive control materials for molecular genetic testing. Lymphocytes were isolated from residual clinical samples. These cells were stably transformed and used in a model proficiency testing program. This work examined the efficacy of preparing transformed cell lines, their stability over time, institutional review board (IRB) issues, and quality assurance issues relevant to the overall process.
 
Progress: 
 
 
This project has been completed. Cell lines developed are available from Coriell Cell Repositories.
