Abstract excerpt
The TK6 cell line has been widely used for genotoxicity screening by taking advantage of the TK1 mutations. A number of publications have employed TK6 as a tool for the assay; however, its characterization is limited. Because genomes of cell lines are often changed during cell culture, differences in TK6 genomes could be observed between laboratories, which would cause potential problems with reproducibility...
