| Comments | Problematic cell line: Contaminated. On the basis of its STR profile it seems to be a Calu-6 derivative. Originally thought to originate from an ovarian carcinoma. Registration: International Cell Line Authentication Committee, Register of Misidentified Cell Lines; ICLAC-00458. Population: Caucasian. Omics: Transcriptomics; Microarray. Caution: Was thought to be an OVCAR-2 derivative because its STR profile was identical to that originally reported for that cell line (PubMed=22710073). But this was shown (September 2025) not to be the correct STR profile for OVCAR-2. Meanwhile it was also noticed that the Caov-2 STR profile is identical to that of Calu-6. Derived from site: Metastatic; Pleural effusion; UBERON=UBERON_0000175. Cell type: Epithelial cell; CL=CL_0000066. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
