PRESIDENT BUSH, in an announcement last week, said that federally funded researchers could use any of more than 60 embryonic cell lines that he said existed, but the American Association for the Advancement of Science said in a statement Friday that there is doubt about the number and origins of those cell lines. “Many of our scientific colleagues have questioned that number, believing it to be much smaller,” said the AAAS statement. It urged the Bush administration to immediately make public the sources and identities of the cell lines. “Until leading scientists in the field can assess their quality, it is not possible to determine whether the existing collection of those lines will be sufficient” for research, the statement said. Dr. Lana Skirboll, the NIH researcher who surprised the research community by finding 60 cell lines at the request of the White House, said that she cannot identify all of the researchers that have developed cell lines because some of the labs “are not quite ready to announce.” “We will in the not-too-distant future make sure that everybody knows exactly where the 60 lines are,” she said. “We don’t intend to keep this hidden forever.” Skirboll said there are five labs with stem cell lines that have not been announced publicly because of “commercial confidential and other security issues.” The AAAS statement was issued as federal health officials prepared to meet later this month with officers of a University of Wisconsin foundation. The officials will be working out the legal details to allow government-funded researchers to use cell lines developed at the university.
