Cellosaurus RF/6A (CVCL_4552)

[Text version]
Cell line name RF/6A
Accession CVCL_4552
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: RF/6A (RRID:CVCL_4552)
Comments Group: Non-human primate cell line.
Problematic cell line: Probably misidentified. While originally thought to be an endothelial cell line, it has been shown to lack functional and transcriptomic characteristics of such cell type (PubMed=30508043).
Omics: Transcriptome analysis by RNAseq.
Derived from site: In situ; Fetal eye, choroid; UBERON=UBERON_0010312+UBERON_0001776.
Derived from site: In situ; Fetal eye, retina; UBERON=UBERON_0003072.
Species of origin Macaca mulatta (Rhesus macaque) (NCBI Taxonomy: 9544)
Hierarchy Children:
CVCL_J443 (RF/6A 135)
Sex of cell Sex unspecified
Age at sampling 64FD
Category Spontaneously immortalized cell line
