Specimens collected as part of the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) study are immortalized. The process of immortalizing cell lines is a laboratory technique that allows white blood cells to reproduce indefinitely, thereby allowing an unlimited supply of cell lines and DNA to autism researchers. Once immortalized, the samples are stored and ready for distribution.
