Cell Line Name

LB205

Cell Line Description

Derived from mononuclear cells from the peripheral blood of a 62 year old male. The patient was diagnosed with Xeroderma pigmentosum variant, illustrating that the disease is heterogeneous. T cells from the original sample have been used for UV irradiation studies and hprt mutant frequency. The cell line has been established by transformation with EBV. Fibroblasts from the same individual are designated XP11 BR.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
