We, JCRB Cell Bank, are collecting various human and animal culture cells including cancer and genetically modified cells. Cell resources are distributed to researchers across Japan and around the world. These cells are comprehensively qualified by testing microbial contamination, virus contamination and cross culture contamination. Some cells are characterized by karyotyping and/or cell surface markers. In collaboration with other major cell banks in the world, we are developing methods for cell culturing and quality control in order to support fundamental research on medical of pharmaceutical sciences.
In 1985, Japanese Cancer Research Resources Bank (JCRB) was established in the National Institute of Hygienic Health Sciences, a predecessor of the current the National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) in Tokyo. The basal management solution of cell bank was introduces from ATCC.
In 1995, JCRB changed the name to Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources. The distribution section was separated from JCRB, and non-free distribution was started by Health Sciences Research Resources Bank (HSRRB) established by the Japan Health Sciences Foundation.
In 2005, the National Institute of Biomedical Innovation (NIBIO) was established. JCRB Cell Bank was transferred from NIHS to NIBIO, and accordingly, was moved from Tokyo to Ibaraki city, Osaka.
In 2013 HSRRB was closed and the distribution of cell lines is run by the JCRB.
In 2015, the National Institutes of Biomedical Innovation, Health and Nutrition (NIBIOHN) was founded by combining the National Institute of Biomedical Innovation (NIBIO) and the National Institute of Health and Nutrition (NIHN).
我们，JCRB细胞银行，正在收集各种人类和动物培养细胞，包括癌症和转基因细胞。细胞资源分布在日本和世界各地的研究人员。通过检测微生物污染、病毒污染和交叉培养污染，对这些细胞进行综合鉴定。有些细胞的特征是核型和/或细胞表面标记。我们与世界上其他主要的细胞库合作，开发细胞培养和质量控制的方法，以支持医药科学的基础研究。
1985年，日本癌症研究资源银行(JCRB)在国立卫生健康科学研究所(NIHS)的前身——位于东京的国立卫生科学研究所(NIHS)中成立。介绍了细胞库的基本管理方案。
1995年，JCRB更名为日本生物资源研究中心。分发部分与JCRB分离，非免费分发由日本健康科学基金会建立的健康科学研究资源银行(HSRRB)发起。
2005年，国家生物医学创新研究所(NIBIO)成立。JCRB细胞库从NIHS转移到NIBIO，并由此从东京转移到大阪茨城县。
2013年关闭HSRRB，细胞株分布由JCRB管理。
2015年，由美国国家生物医学创新研究所(NIBIO)和美国国家健康与营养研究所(NIHN)联合成立了美国国家生物医学创新、健康与营养研究所(NIBIOHN)。
