Cellosaurus HMCB (CVCL_3317)

[Text version]
Cell line name HMCB
Synonyms Human Melanoma Cell Bowes; Bowes melanoma cells; BOWES
Accession CVCL_3317
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: HMCB (RRID:CVCL_3317)
Comments Group: Patented cell line.
Part of: Cancer Dependency Map project (DepMap) (includes Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia - CCLE).
Registration: International Depositary Authority, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC); CRL-9607.
Population: Caucasian.
Omics: Genomics; Whole exome sequencing.
Omics: Transcriptomics; Microarray.
Omics: Transcriptomics; RNAseq.
Omics: Variations; SNP array analysis.
Anecdotal: The Bowes cell line is famous for its use in the identification and purification of tissue-type plasminogen activator, tPA.
Caution: The exact relationship between HMCB (Cellosaurus=CVCL_3317) and RPMI-7262/7272/7932/7962/7972 is not clear: all are derived from patient 'Bowes' melanoma.
