Kaposi's sarcoma‐derived cell line SLK is not of endothelial origin, but is a contaminant from a known renal carcinoma cell line

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is an endothelial cell-derived tumor. Investigations of the molecular mechanisms of KS pathogenesis and the identification of drugs for treatment of KS depend critically on valid cell-culture models. Two major immortalized cell lines are available for KS research. Recently, the KS cell line KS Y-1 has been shown to be cross-contaminated with the T24 urinary bladder cancer cell line (ATCC...
