Proper Citation: UCSF AIDS Specimen Bank (RRID:SCR_004981)
Description: The AIDS Specimen Bank (ASB) provides repository services to cohort studies such as the Women''s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), Primary HIV Infection Study, Staying Well Study, clinical trials performed at UCSF, and others. The majority of ASB clients are HIV investigators, but the bank also processes and stores specimens collected from some non-HIV studies. The ASB is also the Specimen Bank Core for the UCSF/GIVI Center for AIDS Research. The mission of the AIDS Specimen Bank is to provide the following: * Processing and handling of specimens * Short-term or long-term storage (includes ultra-low temperatures and liquid nitrogen) * Data management * Well-characterized specimens to qualified investigators for translational research * Consultation to investigators inquiring about specimen collection and storage * International resource for HIV research * Networking tool within the research community All body fluids����??sera, plasma, saliva, vaginal lavage, etc.����??are stored as 1-milliliter aliquots in ultra-low freezers (-70��������C). PBMCs are processed and stored in liquid nitrogen. All equipment involved with the processing of specimens (centrifuges and Coulter counter) is calibrated by trained technicians. The ASB is a participant in the Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Group PBMC Cryopreservation and Viability Panel, in which sets of processed and frozen PBMCs are sent to the Immunology Quality Assessment Program (IQA) testing lab for viability and cell counts. Our laboratory has participated in the IQA program for three years, and all samples have proven to be acceptable to their standards. The ASB is compliant with Good Laboratory Practices guidelines.
