1 INTRODUCTION

The creation of biomedical databases has been a strongly felt need since the beginning of the seventies [1].

Despite this premise, very few examples of list mode cytometric file databases have been published so far, albeit single FCS files are downloadable from the Internet as supporting information in the report of isolated cases [2, 3].

The published list mode web-based cytometric file repositories encompass three distinct examples, that is:

1. the ImmPort system, created in 2007 by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), initially destined to data produced by NIAID-funded scientists [4];
2. the FlowRepository project, created in 2012 by the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) [5], conceived to make available to the scientific community the FCS files related to experiments published in peer-reviewed journals;
3. Cytobank, a platform for digital applications in Flow Cytometry [6], allowing experiment sharing.

ESCCABase 项目：正在进行的存储库

1 介绍

自 70 年代初以来，人们强烈认为需要创建生物医学数据库 [ 1 ]。

尽管有这个前提，但到目前为止，很少有列表模式细胞计数文件数据库的例子被发布，尽管单个 FCS 文件可以从互联网上下载，作为孤立病例报告中的支持信息 [ 2, 3 ]。

已发布的列表模式基于 Web 的细胞计数文件存储库包含三个不同的示例，即：

1. ImmPort 系统由美国国家过敏症和传染病研究所 (NIAID) 于 2007 年创建，最初用于由 NIAID 资助的科学家生成的数据 [ 4 ]；
2. FlowRepository 项目由国际细胞计量学促进会 (ISAC) [ 5 ]于 2012 年创建，旨在向科学界提供与在同行评审期刊上发表的实验相关的 FCS 文件；
3. Cytobank，流式细胞术数字应用平台 [ 6 ]，允许实验共享。
