Regarding the deposit and distribution of bioresources containing Cre-ERT(2)

The GIE-CERBM (Centre Europeen De Recherche En Biologie Et Medicine) in France is the developer of the Cre-ERT(2) construct and a co-owner of bioresources containing Cre-ERT(2). The RIKEN BioResource Research Center (BRC) and GIE-CERBM have agreed since August 27, 2024 regarding the deposit and distribution of bioresources (gene materials, cell lines, and mice) containing the Cre-ERT(2) as below.

Agreed points:

  • The GIE-CERBM acknowledges and consents to the deposit of Cre-ERT(2)-containing bioresources (Deposited Material) to BRC by third parties.
  • The GIE-CERBM agrees to BRC’s distribution of the Deposited Material to any academic or non-profit research institutions and its affiliated scientists, Professors, or other personnel (each a “Recipient”).
  • Each Recipient shall be provided with a copy of the Exhibit A “NOTICE TO RECIPIENT”. The NOTICE TO RECIPIENT will be included in the public web record for each Deposited Material on https://web.brc.riken.jp/ja/ and https://web.brc.riken.jp/en/
  • BRC agrees to provide GIE-CERBM biannually a list of Recipients. GIE-CERBM agrees not to disclose the list of Recipients to any third parties.

It is expected that bioresources containing Cre-ERT(2) will continue to make a significant contribution to the development of life science research. We look forward to researchers’ active deposits and use of such bioresources.
