Hiding in Plain View: Genetic Profiling Reveals Decades Old Cross Contamination of Bladder Cancer Cell Line KU7 with HeLa

8 Mar 2013

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: KU7 is a popular urothelial carcinoma cell line that was isolated from the bladder of a patient at Keio University in 1980. It has subsequently been widely used in laboratories around the world. We describe how routine cell line authentication revealed that KU7 was cross contaminated almost 30 years ago with HeLa, a cervical carcinoma cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Presumed KU7 clones dating from 1984...
