SFARI now offers peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for distribution. Initially, the inventory will contain samples from the Simons Searchlight cohort, and inventory from the Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) and Autism Inpatient Collection (AIC) will become available in the future. PBMCs will be available for the purpose of generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Applications to request PBMCs can be accessed through SFARI Base.
