Histopathology Shared Resource - TISSUE BANK

Tissue Procurement Costs

Although there are no charges for tissue, the Histopathology Shared Resource must cover the costs of collection, processing and storage of the tissues we have available. OHSU Cancer Institute Members are subsidized through funds received from the National Cancer Institute.

Through support from the OHSU Cancer Institute, a growing collection of normal and neoplastic human tissues is available to local investigators. The tissues are stored in several ways, each one optimal for a particular use.

Paraffin-embedded, from formalin- or ethanol-fixed tissue:
Optimal for H&E stains and many types of special stains.

Frozen (bulk tissue):
Suitable for DNA, RNA or protein extractions.

Frozen (OCT-embedded):
Optimal for cryostat sections and immunohistochemistry.

DNA or RNA:
Prepared upon request from bulk tissue and ready for analysis.

The laboratory can assist individual investigators in optimizing the collection of tissues from research animals.
