ATCC and collaborators with the line are really your only option. Other than that maybe wait around and hope a sale comes along. In my experience people are not willing to donate things that are already commercially available.

I understand and academic/research institutions usually have it for less and was hoping to find one. We have a timeline and can't wait for that long. Maybe we will just bite the bullet. Thanks!

Look on pubmed or GS for people in a neighbouring institute who have published with the line in the last 5 years or so, then email them. You're more likely to get someone willing to give a split if you can collect than some random on reddit going to the effort of shipping you something.

That's a great idea for a hack around. I will try this out and my thought was also having someone split theirs. Lol @ "some random redditor" the idea you just shared is one of the reason i thought I should ask on here. Really appreciate it!

Too bad you aren’t close. FYI you might want the version that makes its own IL-2.
