Request

GET /api/cell-lines/v1

A cell line's RRID or Cellosaurus accession, such as RRID:CVCL_0030 or CVCL_0030; its name, a synonym or a misspelling Cellosaurus records; or words in its names, diseases, site or cell type. Case and punctuation do not matter. Each word matches the words that start with it.

Only the lines with a problem Cellosaurus records: contaminated, misidentified or misclassified.
