…antigen (HLA) typing, chromosomal analysis, karyotyping, morphology and STR analysis. One significant cell-line cross contaminant is the immortal HeLa cell line. HeLa contamination was first noted in the early 1960s in non-human culture in the USA. Intraspecies contamination was discovered in nineteen…
