Once a human embryonic stem cell line is listed on the NIH Human Embryonic Stem Cell Registry, are lines derived from it also eligible?
The NIH Guidelines on Human Stem Cell Research focus on the requirements for donation of the embryo that was used for derivation. Once that determination has been made for a particular line, it applies to all subclones or modifications. For example, once WA01 (H1) was determined to be eligible for NIH funding, WA01 lines that express GFP also became eligible.
