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 [email protected].

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: STR profiling showed that this cell line has a shared donor origin with MDA-MB-435 and M14. The identity of these two cell lines was investigated further by ICLAC; all derivatives correspond to the M14 melanoma cell line and its donor (Korch et al, 2018).
