NCI/ADR-RES appears to have been derived at some point in time from cell line OVCAR-8. [8] Originally the cell line was named MCF-7/ADR-RES; it was renamed together with the change in classification. [8] Two brain cancer cell lines, SNB-19 and U251, were discovered to come from the same person. [9] This makes a mixup likely.
A mix-up rated as contamination could in reality be a simple confusion of two cell lines, but usually contamination is assumed. [citation needed] After a cell line has been discovered to be contaminated, it is usually never used again for research demanding the specific type of cell line they were assumed to be.
Primary cell culture is the ex vivo culture of cells freshly obtained from a multicellular organism, as opposed to the culture of immortalized cell lines.In general, primary cell cultures are considered more representative of in vivo tissues than cell lines, and this is recognized legally in some countries such as the UK (Human Tissue Act 2004).

Cell culture is a fundamental component of tissue culture and tissue engineering, as it establishes the basics of growing and maintaining cells in vitro. The major application of human cell culture is in stem cell industry, where mesenchymal stem cells can be cultured and cryopreserved for future use. Tissue engineering potentially offers ...
HeLa cells are rapidly dividing cancer cells, and the number of chromosomes varies during cancer formation and cell culture. The current estimate (excluding very tiny fragments) is a "hypertriploid chromosome number (3n+)", which means 76 to 80 total chromosomes (rather than the normal diploid number of 46) with 22–25 clonally abnormal ...
Causes of melanoma. Ultraviolet light exposure from the sun or from tanning beds causes most melanomas. Melanoma may appear at a spot where you have an existing mole. But if an unusual spot shows ...
The second method is primary explant culture, in which fragments derived from animal tissue are attached to a surface using an extracellular matrix component (ECM), such as collagen or a plasma clot. This culture is known as a primary explant, and migrating cells are known as outgrowth.
A549 cells – derived from a cancer patient lung tumor; HeLa cells – a widely used human cell line isolated from cervical cancer patient Henrietta Lacks; HEK 293 cells – derived from human fetal cells; Huh7 cells – hepatocyte-derived carcinoma cell line; Jurkat cells – a human T lymphocyte cell line isolated from a case of leukemia
