Author | Erin Hall, ICLAC member Informing the research community about instances of cell line misidentification and cross-contamination is one of the core missions of ICLAC, but our mission doesn’t just focus on human cell lines. In this case study, ...

Author | Erin Hall, ICLAC member This case study will delve into the history and identity of Chang Liver. We hope it will serve as a notice to researchers who continue to use the cell line incorrectly as an in ...

Worksheets are helpful for human cell line authentication to determine if STR genotypes from cell line samples are related. These worksheets can be used to perform a search for similar STR genotypes using the Cellosaurus STR Similarity Search Tool (CLASTR) or compare ...

Common cell culture terms are defined in the Guidelines for the Use of Cell Lines in Biomedical Research, which is available online.  ICLAC has included additional definitions as part of its Terms of Reference, some of which are copied here. See ICLAC Terms ...
