ACC 53
Cell line:
SKW-3
DSMZ no.:
ACC 53
Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
T cell leukemia (derivative of KE-37)
Origin:
originally described in the literature to be established from the peripheral blood of a 61-year-old man with T cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in 1977; however, DNA fingerprinting and cytogenetic analysis showed cross-contamination with cell line KE-37; KE-37 was established from a 27-year-old man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in 1979
