Human Embryonic Stem (HUES) Cell Collection
Seventeen (17) human embryonic stem cell lines are described in Cowan, C.A. et. al, Derivation of Embryonic Stem-cell Lines from Human
Blastocysts.New England Journal of Medicine. 350;13. (2004). As with all of our published reagents, it is our intention to make these cell lines as freely
available to the research community as possible. In this instance, the HUES cells may be subject to patent and federal or state legislative restrictions that are
beyond our control. Harvard University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) have worked hard to establish a simple procedure that will enable us to provide the cells to the research
community with as few encumbrances as possible.
At this time, to facilitate the transfer of HUES cells, we are not requesting any fees, though the recipient will be responsible for paying the shipping costs. Prior to sending cells, we must have
a Material Transfer Agreement executed.
Instructions for requesting HUES cells, the procedures for executing the necessary documents, and a lab manual containing detailed protocols can be found at the links below:

Funding for the derivation and distribution of the HUES lines has been provided by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and Harvard University.
UNDER PRESENT POLICIES, U.S. FEDERAL FUNDS MAY NOT BE USED IN RESEARCH WITH THESE HUES CELLS
