This is a misidentified cell line with no known authentic stock.
This BioSample record was created using the International Cell Line Authentication Committee (ICLAC) Register of Cross-contaminated or Misidentified Cell Lines, version 9.0. See the ICLAC link below for more information. For questions, contact info@iclac.org.
To cite the ICLAC register or learn more about contaminated cell lines, please refer to: Capes-Davis A, Theodosopoulos G, Atkin I, Drexler HG, Kohara A, Macleod RA, Masters JR, Nakamura Y, Reid YA, Reddel RR, Freshney RI (2010) Check your cultures! A list of cross-contaminated or misidentified cell lines. Int J Cancer 127: 1-8. PMID: 20143388.
Note: ICLAC investigated this cell line after receiving a query about its shared donor origin with SW579. CGTH-W-1 is included in Yu et al (2015) as a synonymous cell line and also in the DSMZ catalogue (ACC 360). CGTH-W-1 was first published in 1995 (Lin et al, 1995; PMID 8826082); SW579 was established much earlier, in 1973 (Fogh et al, 1986; PMID 3518877). The originator of CGTH-W-1 was approached but was unable to supply additional material for testing.
