Problems1
| Problem | Cellosaurus's note |
|---|---|
| Contaminated | Parent cell line (MDA-MB-435) has been shown to be a M14 derivative (PubMed=20143388). Was first thought to originate from the femoral metastasis of a breast carcinoma but was later shown to be contaminated by MDA-MB-435 (PubMed=15679051). |
