A. The Allen Cell Collection is a bank of human induced pluripotent stem cells that are currently derived from the WTC parental line released by the Conklin Laboratory at the J. David Gladstone Institute (available through Coriell as GM25256, where you can also find the de-identified patient information associated with the line). 

Institutions using NIGMS Repository Sample(s) for use as reference materials or controls are responsible for complying with all laws and regulations applicable to intended use of the NIGMS Repository Samples(s), including any requirements for FDA approval.

B.  Recipient acknowledges that the Material was made using the parental WTC line (“Gladstone Material”) from Bruce R. Conklin, M.D. at The J. David Gladstone Institutes (“Gladstone”), and Gladstone retains ownership rights to the Gladstone Material contained in the Material and contained or incorporated in any derivative materials or modifications made by RECIPIENT. Except to the extent prohibited by law, RECIPIENT assumes all liability for damages which may arise from its use, storage or disposal of the Gladstone Material. Gladstone will not be liable to the RECIPIENT for any loss, claim or demand made by the RECIPIENT, or made against the RECIPIENT by any other party, due to or arising from the use of the Gladstone Material by the RECIPIENT, except to the extent permitted by law when caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Gladstone as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Gladstone makes no representations and provides no warranty that the use of the Material will not infringe any patent or other proprietary right. The transfer of the Material to RECIPIENT does not carry with it and does not grant any license, express or implied, under any patent.  RECIPIENT SCIENTIST will acknowledge Gladstone as the source of the parental lines in all publications containing any data or information about such lines.

Recipient acknowledges that the Original Material encodes or comprises a Evrogen fluorescent protein. Obtaining this material does not convey to the recipient any rights to use the Evrogen fluorescent protein or nucleic acid encoding such protein. Limited research use rights may be obtained by purchasing of any vector encoding this particular fluorescent protein from Evrogen distributors, listed at http://www.evrogen.com/support/distributors.shtml
For obtaining additional (commercial) use rights please contact Evrogen directly at: license@evrogen.com 

For cell line AICS-0086-147:

BY USE OF THIS PRODUCT, RESEARCHER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED USE STATEMENT.

Researchers may use this product for research use only, no commercial use is allowed. Researchers shall have no right to modify or otherwise create variations of the nucleotide sequence of the HaloTag® gene. Researchers may however clone heterologous DNA sequences at either or both ends of said HaloTag® gene so as to create fused gene sequences provided that the coding sequence of the resulting HaloTag® gene has no more than four (4) deoxynucleotides missing at the affected terminus when compared to the intact HaloTag® gene sequence. In addition, researchers must do one of the following in conjunction with use of the product: (1) use Promega HaloTag® ligands, which can be modified or linked to Promega or customer-supplied moieties, or (2) contact Promega to obtain a license if Promega HaloTag® ligands are not to be used. Researchers may transfer derivatives to others for research use provided that at the time of transfer a copy of this label license is given to the recipients and recipients agree to be bound by the terms of this label license. With respect to any uses outside this label license, including any diagnostic, therapeutic or prophylactic uses, please contact Promega for supply and licensing information. PROMEGA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH REGARDS TO THE PRODUCT.
