H1299, also known as NCI-H1299 [1] [2] or CRL-5803, [3] is a human non-small cell lung carcinoma cell line derived from the lymph node, which is widely used in research. [ 4 ] As with other immortalized cell lines, H1299 cells can divide indefinitely.
ATCC or the American Type Culture Collection is a nonprofit organization which collects, stores, and distributes standard reference microorganisms, cell lines and other materials for research and development. Established in 1925 to serve as a national center for depositing and distributing microbiological specimens, ATCC has since grown to ...
Vero 76 (ATCC No. CRL-1587) Isolated from Vero in 1968, it grows to a lower saturation density (cells per unit area) than the original Vero. It is useful for detecting and counting hemorrhagic fever viruses by plaque assays. Vero E6, also known as Vero C1008 (ATCC No. CRL-1586) This line is a clone from Vero 76.
Many methods are used to identify cell lines, including isoenzyme analysis, human lymphocyte antigen (HLA) typing, chromosomal analysis, karyotyping, morphology and STR analysis. [35] One significant cell-line cross contaminant is the immortal HeLa cell line. HeLa contamination was first noted in the early 1960s in non-human culture in the USA.
Estimates based on screening of leukemia-lymphoma cell lines suggest that about 15% of these cell lines are not representative of what they are usually assumed to be. [2] A project is currently underway to enumerate and rename contaminated cell lines to avoid errors in research caused by misattribution. [3] [4] [a]
Scientists study the behaviour of isolated cells grown in the laboratory for insights into how cells function in the body in health and disease. Experiments using cell culture are used for developing new diagnostic tests and new treatments for diseases. This is a list of major breast cancer cell lines that are primarily used in breast cancer ...
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; OK cells – derived from female North American opossum ...
A20 cells, also called ATCC TIB-208, is a cell line originally derived from B-cell lymphoma in an old BALB/c mouse. [1] AT20 cells are BALB/c lymphoma cells derived from spontaneous reticulum cell neoplasm. [2] ATCC TIB-208 cells originated from B-cell lymphoma in the reticulum cell sarcoma of an elderly BALB/c mouse. [3]
