The ACP Repository was developed to provide a much needed resource to the research community—high-quality samples and associated data from study participants with MS and selected other demyelinating diseases, and their affected and unaffected relatives and unrelated matched controls.
Since the launch of the repository, we have approved 112 requests for samples and data, 74 of which have come from academic/nonprofit institutions and the other 38 from industry research groups. Samples and data are available to researchers studying the causes of MS and related diseases.
