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.

Note: Website notes that STR profile for SNB-19 was identical to U-373 MG. The ATCC stock for U-373 MG was in turn found to be identical to U-251 MG, although other stocks of U-373 MG (including the originator's) are different to the ATCC stock and it is possible that a correctly identified version of the cell line remains accessible. See "Misidentified Cell Lines" page on the ATCC website for additional notes on this topic.
