Detailed conclusions of the cell line authentication.
Sample nameOrganismConclusion
A549HumanAccording to our analysis of the submitted sample there is no detectable contamination with human origin.
The analyzed data of the submitted sample match 100% to the DNA profile of the cell line A549 (ATCC CRM-CCL-185TM) and 100% over all 15 autosomal STRs to Microsynth’s reference DNA profile of A549 (Mic_150733).
Calu-6HumanAccording to our analysis of the submitted sample there is no detectable contamination with human origin.
The analyzed data of the submitted sample match 100% to the DNA profile of the cell line Calu-6 (ATCC HTB-56TM) and 100% over all 15 autosomal STRs to the DNA profile of Calu-6 (Cellosaurus, RRID:CVCL_0236).
H460HumanAccording to our analysis of the submitted sample there is no detectable contamination with human origin.
The analyzed data of the submitted sample match 100% to the DNA profile of the cell line NCI-H460 [H460] (ATCC HTB-177TM) and 100% over all 15 autosomal STRs to the DNA profile of NCI-H460 (Cellosaurus, RRID:CVCL_0459).
SW 1573HumanAccording to our analysis of the submitted sample there is no detectable contamination with human origin.
The analyzed data of the submitted sample match 93.3% to the DNA profile of the cell line SW 1573 [SW-1573, SW1573] (ATCC CRL-2170TM) and 93.1% over all 15 autosomal STRs to the DNA profile of SW 1573 (Cellosaurus, RRID:CVCL_1720).
Cell line samples matching at ≥ 80% of alleles across the eight core reference loci are said to be related.
