I just had this issue with our implementation!
I provided instructions on what they should select, and created a "HNHP cell line" in the dictionary that is "N/A (samples only)" as well as an "Acquisition Source" designated "N/A."
On the Cell Lines screen, the instructions say:
If you are only using human specimens, please "Add Cell Line" and follow the instructions on that page.
The Cell Line edit screen has these instructions:
Start typing in the box to search for the cell line
All questions with red asterisks require an answer
If you are not using cell lines but only human samples:
- Select "N/A" in the search field below
- Select the appropriate biosafety level
- Choose "N/A" for the Acquisition Source
- Choose "Primary (Fresh)" for the Passage
I hope this helps!

Subject: Hazard Safety (IBC) Application - How do you handle this logic of the Human/NHP section?
Hi All,
When our PIs indicate that they're using Human/Non-Human Primate materials on the Options page of our IBC application, four pages animate -- one of which is "Cell Lines Details" -- for covering the use of cultured cell lines. However, for investigators using human blood, saliva, semen, purified hormone, etc., the questions regarding cultured cell lines aren't relevant. There's nothing they can click on this page to indicate "not applicable" and move on, which is confusing. As far as I can tell, our application came with this logic. How are you all thinking about this and using it? Or did you have Cayuse change the logic? We would rather not clutter up our "cell line" data dictionary with all sorts of non-cell line entries and force PIs to complete this page.
