Cellosaurus L6 (CVCL_0385)

[Text version]
Cell line name L6
Synonyms L-6; L-6 myoblast
Accession CVCL_0385
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: L6 (RRID:CVCL_0385)
Comments Transformant: ChEBI; CHEBI_34342; 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC; 20-methylcholanthrene; 20-MC; MCA).
Anecdotal: Called L6 by David Yaffe because he and Sara Neuman established the cell line during the Six-Day war in 1967 (PubMed=33117511).
