IFO500028:EB-3
CCL213:DAUDI
(2008.11)
1.000JCRBCooperative study by W. Dirks in the DSMZ found this crosscontamination using the database including both ATCC and JCRB. The unique EB-3(CCL 85) cell line(not crosscontaminated) is available from the ATCC.

The STR analysis done by a request, no JCRB registered cell line.
JCRB9004:HeLa
(2004.7.26)
0.933JCRBHSG-AZA3, HSG-AZA1 and HSGc-C5(JCRB1070) derived from HSG cells had EV=0.933 when compared with HeLa(JCRB9004).

(2004.6.6)
1.000JCRBFurther details are under examination. JCRB0172.1:RMG-II was unique which is differ from the Ev of the RMG-I. Reference indicated that the RMG-I and the RMG-II were derived from defferent individuals.

(JCRB0171:SKG-II,JCRB0175:SNG-II)
and
(IFO50309:SKG-II,IFO50312:SNG-II)
These two cell lines were found to be inverted in both collections. (2004.5.20)1.000JCRBThe proof was made by the HPV type18 only in the SKG-II and confirmed to be the IFO cell lines were true.

A cross contamination occured in the cell bank which was realized by the report from a user. The contaminated stock was discurded and cleared.
24IFO50039: NC-37JCRB9012: RAJI
(2004.1.3)
1.000JCRBThe NC-37 was originally established as a unique cell line from cocasian male. But later it was found to be cross-contaminated by the Raji cell reported by the ATCC. However we decided to keep the NC-37 on our list of cell lines because it have been used under the name by many experiments in the world.
23JCRB1076: NS-3JCRB0226: COLO201
(2003.12.15)
1.000JCRBThe COLO201 cell line was handled in the laboratory when the NS-3 cells were estableshed. The NS-3 will not be registerd to the collection.
22JCRB1070: HSGc-C5JCRB9004: HeLa
(2003.11.2)
0.903JCRBRegistered, because of this cell line is used as a standardization for the heavy particle irradiation.
21
HSRB0044:OCUM-6
HSRB0045:OCUM-11
(2003.10.16)
0.903JCRBRegistration suspended because a cross contamination was found between these two cell lines.
