Catalogue No.

88021103

Cell Line Name

1-5c-4 (HeLa deriative)

Cell Line Description

These cells were originally Chang conjunctival cells adapted by Wong and Kilbourne, and designated as conjunctival 'D' cells. Susceptible to swine influenza viruses, supports production of plaque formation by a variety of influenza virus subtypes. Has HeLa markers, exhibits type A G6PD. This cell line was found to be indistinguishable from HeLa by STR PCR DNA profiling. Therefore, the cell line should be considered as derived from HeLa. Epithelial with occasional giant cells. Ethnicity: Black.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
