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: The cell line was investigated by ICLAC after it was reported that 3AB-OS had a shared donor origin with RD. Further testing confirmed this finding. 3AB-OS was originally reported to be derived from MG-63 and to display novel cancer stem cell properties.
