Cellosaurus Mel Ho (CVCL_1402)

[Text version]
Cell line name Mel Ho
Synonyms MEL HO; MEL-HO; MEL-Ho; Mel-HO; MelHo; MELHO; Ho
Accession CVCL_1402
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: Mel Ho (RRID:CVCL_1402)
Comments Problematic cell line: Misidentified/contaminated. Shown to be identical to MEL-Wei. This cell line was reported to be isogenic with LCL-Ho (Cellosaurus=CVCL_1868) but it does not have the same STR profile (PubMed=10508494; PubMed=20143388). According to DSMZ ACC-62 it is a human female cell line.
