It is estimated that 50% of biological research data is irreproducible, and a significant portion of this irreproducibility is associated with research methodology, data analysis, gaps in data provenance, and poor biological materials. To address this need, ATCC has worked with our collaborators to create the #ATCCGenomePortal and ATCC Cell Line Land to better establish a standard for reproducible results. https://ow.ly/RY9Z50SaOhM

The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is supporting the development of next-generation COVID-19 vaccines, which have the potential to expand the breadth of coverage against existing and future variants, extend the duration of protection, and offer better protection in the prevention of illness and transmission over current vaccine technologies. The vaccines developed under Project NextGen include an oral mucosal vaccine, a live attenuated virus vaccine, an intranasal vaccine, and an mRNA vaccine. While existing vaccines against COVID-19 are still effective, they are less capable of reducing infection and transmission over time. Similarly, previously authorized monoclonal antibody therapeutics are not effective against current circulating strains. In support of these Project NextGen efforts, ATCC was awarded $87 million from BARDA through the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) to coordinate all tasks for a cradle-to-grave chain of custody, storage, monitoring, and distribution for up to 4.3 million NextGen COVID-19 biological specimens. ATCC will provide a long-term storage facility for COVID-19 biological specimens and distribute them to BARDA-approved facilities in support of the development of vaccines, therapeutics, and potential assays for current and future COVID-19 variants. This work with BARDA underlines ATCC’s commitment to global health and pandemic preparedness.

The #Adenovirus Type 5 Reference Material (ATCC® VR-1516™) is available! Because of the necessary differences in manufacturing between new lots and the original 2001 production, there are a few changes to the reference material as compared to previous stocks. We have provided a comparison below for reference. Check out the comparison: https://ow.ly/7sRu50SbehK
