Mission
The National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC), supported by NIMH and NINDS funding, was established in 1998 to collect, store, and distribute samples of nervous tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, blood, and other tissue from HIV-infected individuals.
The NNTC mission is to bolster research on the effects of HIV infection on human brain by providing high-quality, well-characterized tissue samples from patients who died with HIV, and for whom comprehensive neuromedical and neuropsychiatric data were gathered antemortem.Researchers can request tissues from patients who have been characterized by:
-degree of neurobehavioral impairment
-neurological and other clinical diagnoses
-history of drug use
-antiretroviral treatments
-blood and CSF viral load
-neuropathological diagnosisThe NNTC encourages external researchers to submit tissue requests for ancillary studies.
