RPMI 7932 cell line

Tumourigenicity studies

Derived from the pleural effusion of a 36 year old female with malignant melanoma. Cell line produces plasminogen activator. This cell line was found to be indistinguishable from cell lines COLO 699N & COLO 738 by STR PCR DNA profiling. At ECACC the STR PCR profile of all stocks of this cell line match the profile of the original source material received at ECACC. However, it is not clear if the cell lines COLO 699N, RPMI 7932 & COLO 738 were originally derived from the same individual as the profiles suggest. The cell lines COLO 699N, RPMI 7932 & COLO 738 were received from the same depositor. If we are able to obtain clarification of the relationship between these cell lines this information will be updated.
