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.

A list of cross-contaminated or misidentified cell lines. Int J Cancer 127: 1-8. PMID: 20143388.

Note: Eight cell lines established by Albert Leibovitz were found to have a shared donor origin: SW-480, SW-527, SW-598, SW-608, SW-613, SW-620, SW-732, and SW-733. Leibovitz and Jorgen Fogh were able to investigate this finding in the 1970s using early passage material. SW-480 was found to be authentic; SW-620 was established from the same donor and was also authentic. The other six cell lines were found to be misidentified.
