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).
我們，JCRB細胞銀行，正在收集各種人類和動物培養細胞，包括癌癥和轉基因細胞。細胞資源分布在日本和世界各地的研究人員。通過檢測微生物污染、病毒污染和交叉培養污染，對這些細胞進行綜合鑒定。有些細胞的特征是核型和/或細胞表面標記。我們與世界上其他主要的細胞庫合作，開發細胞培養和質量控制的方法，以支持醫藥科學的基礎研究。
1985年，日本癌癥研究資源銀行(JCRB)在國立衛生健康科學研究所(NIHS)的前身——位于東京的國立衛生科學研究所(NIHS)中成立。介紹了細胞庫的基本管理方案。
1995年，JCRB更名為日本生物資源研究中心。分發部分與JCRB分離，非免費分發由日本健康科學基金會建立的健康科學研究資源銀行(HSRRB)發起。
2005年，國家生物醫學創新研究所(NIBIO)成立。JCRB細胞庫從NIHS轉移到NIBIO，并由此從東京轉移到大阪茨城縣。
2013年關閉HSRRB，細胞株分布由JCRB管理。
2015年，由美國國家生物醫學創新研究所(NIBIO)和美國國家健康與營養研究所(NIHN)聯合成立了美國國家生物醫學創新、健康與營養研究所(NIBIOHN)。
