Abstract
The murine cell line MH-22A was originally established at least 50 years ago from a non-metastasizing tumor induced by 3-methylcholanthrene in C3HA mice and further adapted for in vitro growth. MH-22A cells grow predominantly epithelioid and they lead to the formation of transplantable tumors when injected subcutaneously into mice. In silico translation of genome data of this nearly triploid cell line to the human genome has recently characterized MH-22A as a suitable model for hepatoblastoma or early hepatocellular carcinoma. Here we established a multi-loci short tandem repeat signature for this cell line that allows quick and reliable cell line authentication.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on vast aspects of cell research, including morphology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, molecular biology, immunology. The journal accepts original experimental studies, theoretical articles suggesting novel principles and approaches, presentations of new hypotheses, reviews highlighting major developments in cell biology, discussions. The main objective of the journal is to provide a competent representation and integration of research made on cells (animal and plant cells, both in vivo and in cell culture) offering insight into the structure and functions of live cells as a whole. Characteristically, the journal publishes articles on biology of free-living and parasitic protists, which, unlike Metazoa, are eukaryotic organisms at the cellular level of organization.
