Cellosaurus iSLK (CVCL_B6YU)

[Text version]
Cell line name iSLK
Accession CVCL_B6YU
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: iSLK (RRID:CVCL_B6YU)
Comments Problematic cell line: Contaminated. Shown to be a Caki-1 derivative (PubMed=22987579). The parent cell line was originally thought to originate from a 28 year old male patient with HIV-1 negative Kaposi sarcoma.
Population: Caucasian.
Transfected with: UniProtKB; P00557; Escherichia coli hygromycin-B 4-O-kinase (hph) (HygR).
Transfected with: UniProtKB; P00552; Transposon Tn5 neo.
Transfected with: UniProtKB; P04483; Escherichia coli Tn10 tetR.
Transfected with: UniProtKB; P06492; Human herpesvirus 1 VP16 (UL28) (with p.Met1_Arg360del).
Derived from site: Metastatic; Skin; UBERON=UBERON_0002097.
