Authenticating human cell lines using the Identifiler kits and capillary electrophoresis platforms

July 4, 2017

The study of human diseases relies heavily on the analysis of dissociated human cell lines grown in culture. However, an increasingly acknowledged problem is that cells grown in vitro can be misidentified or become contaminated with other unrelated cell lines . Misidentification of cell lines produces misleading results, confusion, and added costs to research . Journals and funding agencies now require researchers to ascertain that the cell lines they have used are authentic, and to identify strategies for ensuring they remain so over the course of a study .
