Description
Established from the pleural fluid of a patient who suffered with malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Colo 738 cell line is also referred to as MFHL-2 in some literature. Cell line was mycoplasma eradicated by Glow Biologics using. This cell line was found to be indistinguishable from cell lines RPMI 7932 & COLO 699N by STR PCR DNA profiling. At Glow Biologics the STR PCR profile of all stocks of this cell line match the profile of the original source material received at Glow Biologics. However, it is not clear if the cell lines COLO 699N, RPMI 7932 & COLO 738 were originally derived from the same individual as the profiles suggest. The cell lines COLO 699N, RPMI 7932 & COLO 738 were received from the same depositor. If we are able to obtain clarification of the relationship between these cell lines this information will be updated.
