Its main feature is cell line identification according to the standard ansi atcc asn 0002 2011 but it also provides features for searching profiles by.
Cell line authentication database.
Cell line authentication research services.
Authentication of a cell line is the sum of the process by which a line s identity is verified and shown to be free of contamination from other cell lines and microbes.
The register currently lists 552 cell lines.
The cells must be checked the condition whether more than one cell line is handled in a laboratory to avoid cross contamination.
Consequently data derived from misidentified cell lines can be misleading or false and cause confusion in the scientific literature.
Please ask your labcorp representative for more information on the calculations labcorp uses for comparing human.
Cell line authentication is increasingly necessary with the wide use of cell lines in research.
Cosmic the catalogue of somatic mutations in cancer is the world s largest and most comprehensive resource for exploring the impact of somatic mutations in human cancer.
The cell line integrated molecular authentication clima database is the result of an integration effort aimed at including all certified str profiles of human cell lines in a unique database.
Cell line authentication is required whenever a new cell line is established.
Human cultured cells are at risk for contamination and misidentification.
An effort has been made to exclude cell lines that legitimately come from the same donor for example if one cell line was intentionally derived from another.
Cell lines project v92 released 27 aug 20.
Browse our resources to explore the current best practices for validating storing and handling biological materials and how these techniques support data integrity and reproducibility.
Online reference databases cell line str profiles.
Atcc is committed to improving the authentication of cell lines and microbial cultures.
Both incorrectly identified animal and human lines have been distributed repeatedly thus invalidating years of hard work.
Among the important resources is the database of cross contaminated or misidentified cell lines 6 maintained by the international cell line authentication committee iclac a group founded in.
It should also be conducted before freezing at any time when the line is inconsistent.
509 cell lines are misidentified with no known authentic stock and are listed in table 1.
