Description
BE(2)-C cell line is a clonal sub-line of SK-N-BE(2) which was isolated from bone marrow of a 22-month-old male with disseminated neuroblastoma in 1972. They are reported to be multipotential with regard to neuronal enzyme expression and display a high capacity to convert tyrosine to dopamine. The cells show a small, refractile morphology with short, neurite-like cell processes and tend to grow in aggregates.The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat-PCR analysis when tested at Glow Biologics. It cell line is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.
