'Breast' Cancer Cell Line, actually colorectal |
Description |
Shown by SNP analysis to be identical to colorectal line LS174T Obtained from originators. (Hambly et al, 1997) Almost normal karyotype with only changes trisomy 7 and iso13, like a typical microsatellite-unstable colorectal line. One X, suggesting male origin. Given that the other lines in this series, MT-1, MC4000 and MaTu are HeLa contaminants, the authenticity of this line was always in doubt. |
