[Text version]
Cell line name A-375 Human EGFR vIII
Synonyms A375-EGFRVIII; U87MG Human EGFR vIII
Accession CVCL_XZ66
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: A-375 Human EGFR vIII (RRID:CVCL_XZ66)
Comments Problematic cell line: Misidentified. Was originally thought to originate from the U87MG cell line. STR profiling carried out at KYinno has shown it was derived from A-375. Be aware of this issue if you obtained this cell line before it was indicated as being derived from K-562.
Population: Caucasian.
Doubling time: ~30 hours (KYinno=KC-1308).
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=HGNC; HGNC:3236; EGFR (Note=With p.Val30_Arg297del = EGFRvIII).
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P13249; Streptomyces alboniger pac (PuroR).
Derived from site: In situ; Leg, skin; UBERON=UBERON_0001511.
