Description

This is a misidentified cell line with no known authentic stock.

This BioSample record was created using the International Cell Line Authentication Committee (ICLAC) Register of Cross-contaminated or Misidentified Cell Lines, version 9.0. See the ICLAC link below for more information. For questions, contact info@iclac.org.

To cite the ICLAC register or learn more about contaminated cell lines, please refer to: Capes-Davis A, Theodosopoulos G, Atkin I, Drexler HG, Kohara A, Macleod RA, Masters JR, Nakamura Y, Reid YA, Reddel RR, Freshney RI (2010) Check your cultures! A list of cross-contaminated or misidentified cell lines. Int J Cancer 127: 1-8. PMID: 20143388.

Note: According to the authors of this reference, the original non-contaminated cell line has been characterized and may be available. However, the prototype was not accessible to the authors of that study. Unless previously authenticated, the identity of the cell line is uncertain and should be confirmed before use.
