Investigation of Cross-Contamination and Misidentification of 278 Widely Used Tumor Cell Lines

20 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, biological research involving human cell lines has been rapidly developing in China. However, some of the cell lines are not authenticated before use. Therefore, misidentified and/or cross-contaminated cell lines are unfortunately commonplace. In this study, we present a comprehensive investigation of cross-contamination and misidentification for a panel of 278 cell lines from 28 institutes in...
