This is a misidentified cell line with no known authentic stock.
This BioSample record was created using the International Cell Line Authentication Committee (ICLAC) Register of Cross-contaminated or Misidentified Cell Lines, version 9.0. See the ICLAC link below for more information. For questions, contact info@iclac.org.
To cite the ICLAC register or learn more about contaminated cell lines, please refer to: Capes-Davis A, Theodosopoulos G, Atkin I, Drexler HG, Kohara A, Macleod RA, Masters JR, Nakamura Y, Reid YA, Reddel RR, Freshney RI (2010) Check your cultures! A list of cross-contaminated or misidentified cell lines. Int J Cancer 127: 1-8. PMID: 20143388.
Note: ICLAC investigated four cell lines whose STR profiles corresponded to U-937: EL 1, SC (also known as 28SC), 28SC-ES (derived from SC) and PH. EL 1, SC, and PH were all found to come from the same patent deposit (http://www.google.com/patents/US5447861). The wording of the patent makes it clear that all were deposited by the originators at ATCC, where STR profiling was performed, and that U-937 was used as a control.
