NIH is currently seeking public comment on a proposed change to the definition of “human embryonic stem cells” in the NIH Guidelines for Human Stem Cell Research [http://hescregapp.od.nih.gov/comments/FR_Notice_2-23-2010.pdf]. While NIH is considering public comment on the proposed change, the following human embryonic stem cell lines (hESCs) are currently on hold and should not be used in NIH-funded research:

Cell Line Name                  NIH Registration Number
CHB-1                                                 0001
CHB-2                                                 0002
CHB-3                                                 0003
If grantees are currently using any of these lines they may contact their funding IC for further information.
