s: order tumor cDNA Breast, Human Tumor cDNA http://www.invitrogen.com/1/1/1815-breast-human-tumor-cdna.html price: 822.09

s: order tumor cDNA expression library Origene offers cDNA library already in the plasmid but this is $20K and up! http://www.origene.com/cdna/clone_set.aspx

bios&t provides cDNA library construction services but doesn't give a price; you have to request a quote http://www.biost.com/en/StandardcDNA.aspx

amsbio has human tumor breast tissue http://www.amsbio.com/productpage.aspx?code=C1235086 455.00 price they don't seem to have much information about it on their website

s: order tumor tissue Biomax has a high-density breast cancer tissue array http://www.biomax.us/tissue-arrays/Breast/BR6161

Cureline has tumor tissues http://www.cureline.com/frozen-human-tissue-for-research.html they don't give any prices

cybrdi has tumor tissues (all about $650) TF-08 Breast ductal infiltrating carcinoma frozen tissue http://www.cybrdi.com/frozen-tissue/frozen-tissue-biobank/tumor-frozen/tumor-frozen-tissue $650.00

ilsbio has tumor tissue but lists no prices http://www.ilsbio.com/products.htm

xpressbio has some cancer tissues, but they come in the form of spots (<100) per slide

Cancer Center Tissue and Tumor Bank from the University of Massachussetts has a tissue request form. The prices look extremely low maybe? External users must contact them to get price information. http://www.umassmed.edu/Forms.aspx?id=130388&linkidentifier=id&itemid=130388 contacted Stephen Lyle (Stephen.Lyle@umassmed.edu) about obtaining tumor tissue https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&shva=1#inbox/1378f68a9e820c97
 * they charge a fee of $57.60 + shipping for snap frozen cancer samples. Not bad!

IMGENEX offers tumor tissue lysates http://www.imgenex.com/clinical_tissue_derivatives.php?id=79

contacted life technologies https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1#inbox/137980290e26a3e7
 * They do not offer tumor tissue. They do offer cDNA libraries at many different stages of construction though.
 * ProQuest Pre-made cDNA libraries (for detecting protein-protein interactions)

Life technologies also offers custom services. I filled out a form to get a price estimate here L:\storage\CIM Research Folder\DR\2012\6-4-12 My e-mail to Invitrogen is here: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&shva=1#sent approximate cost of custom cDNA library: $5000. Kathy thinks this is more money than we want to spend. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&shva=1#inbox/137bdbd1f768a715 https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&shva=1#label/Career/137bdc99bddb813c

After an array meeting, Phil mentioned that I could obtain tumor tissue from @http://www.chtn.nci.nih.gov/

e-mail to Kathy about obtaining human tumor RNA from Human Cooperative Tissue Network or the Cancer Center Tissue and Tumor Bank from the University of Massachussetts. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&shva=1#sent/138156604cdffe13
