One of the main objectives of NeuroPrion is to establish a virtual Bank of Animal Tissues that will be populated with sample data from members holding archived stocks of TSE samples. The database will be hosted within the eDOC private website accessible by NeuroPrion members and associates; the desired result of such access will be to facilitate collaborative contact between institutes involved in prion research.
Work is underway to create such a database of samples taken principally from cattle, sheep and goat clinical suspects, plus some controls. The SRTSE Concerted Action project already has an established database of small ruminant samples, and the Veterinary Laboratories Agency is leading work both within SRTSE and NeuroPrion on these aspects. The possible transfer and expansion of the small ruminant database to NeuroPrion is under negotiation now, and if successful will receive input data from member institutes such as VLA, INEID-FLI, UNIZAR and many others including the Moredun Research Institute, the Danish Institute for Food and Veterinary Research and University College Dublin. Each institute will have its own set of rules controlling release of tissue samples.
Tissues to be made potentially available by the VLA will include those previously collected from UK clinical field cases under EU funding (CT98-3651).
A request form will be included within eDOC based around the existing VLA request document to record the request specification and qualifying support information / data.
