II. PROCEDURES FOR ORDERING GENETIC MUTANT CULTURES 



1. REQUIREMENTS 



The cells are distributed only to qualified professional 

 persons who are associated with recognized research, medical, 

 educational or industrial organizations engaged in health-related 

 research or health delivery. Before fibroblast cells can be 

 shipped, the assurance form (Par. 10) must be signed and returned 

 to the Repository. This is adequate for most cell cultures in 

 the Repository. However, lymphoblast or virus transformed cell 

 cultures require prior agreement to observe the Minimum Safety 

 Guidelines (Page 12) and return of the signed Agreement on 

 Lymphoid and Virus Transformed Cells (Par. 11). These forms may 

 be obtained by writing to the Repository, or may be photocopied. 



2. PROCEDURE 



Requests for cell cultures must be submitted on institutional 

 purchase forms including purchase order numbers. Purchasing agents 

 should indicate the name of the investigator on such orders. Tele- 

 phone orders will be accepted when accompanied by a purchase order 

 number, and should be confirmed within several days by letter. Each 

 culture requested should include the Genetic Mutant Repository number 

 (GM number), and the diagnosis.

All requisitions should be addressed to:
