National NeuroHIV Tissue Consortium (NNTC)
Established in 1998 to collect, store, and distribute samples of central and peripheral nervous system tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and other organs.
The NNTC offers researchers access to a broad range of biospecimens and data from well-characterized individuals with and without HIV. Commonly requested resources include:
CNS Tissue: brain, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia, cerebellum, and more
Peripheral Tissue: liver, spleen, heart, kidney, peripheral nerve, and more
Fluids: cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), plasma, serum, and more
Annotated Data: Longitudinal and antemortem data, including neuropsychological testing, neuromedical examinations, and subjective reports of well-being.
Inventory reflects what is currently uploaded to the central system, but other regions or specimen types may be available locally. If you don’t see what you need, submit an application anyway—NNTC sites may still be able to fulfill your request.
