CC   Problematic cell line: Contaminated. Shown to be a HeLa derivative. Originally thought to originate from a male patient with a lung adenocarcinoma. The original MAC-21 cell line was never tested for contamination. See the colorful description of the MAC-21 contamination story in the book from Michael Gold (CelloPub=CLPUB00262).
CC   Population: African American.
CC   Transformant: NCBI_TaxID; 333761; Human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV18).
CC   Derived from site: In situ; Uterus, cervix; UBERON=UBERON_0000002.
