Limited Use Label Licenses

Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Limited Use Licenses

The human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) available through the NHGRI Repository have been reprogrammed using various technologies, some of which are licensed by third party entities. Researchers purchasing hiPSCs from the NHGRI Repository are responsible for any limited use label licenses (LULLs) applicable to the cell line purchased. It is the researcher's responsibility to investigate whether the intended use of the cell line requires him/her to obtain commercial rights to the technology. Below are links to LULLs which may apply to samples in the NHGRI repository.
