Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Not Currently Available for Shipping

The NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Sources lists the derivations of stem cells that are eligible for federal funding. The purpose of the Registry is to provide investigators with:

  • a unique NIH Code for each cell line that must be used when applying for NIH funding and
  • contact information to facilitate investigators’ acquisition of stem cells.

Providers listed on this page have no lines currently available for shipping; the main Registry page lists providers with at least one available line.

Both pages will be updated as more cell lines are made available by providers. Pages suitable for printing are available for:
