- STR profile: Cell Line Authentication was performed using STR profiling with AmpFLSTRâ? Identifilerâ? PCR Amplification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). 16 independent PCR-systems (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, AMEL, D5S818, FGA, D19S433, vWA, TPOX, and D18S51) were investigated and analyzed (Eurofins Genomics, Germany). The STR profile will be provided
- Biosafety level: BSL-2
- Subculture routine: Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:2 to 1:3
