Cell Line Origin
A human mesothelioma cell line derived from a malignant mesothelioma. Asbestos exposure
Cell Line Description
Mero-14 was derived from the pleural effusion from a male patient aged >60 with a history of asbestos exposure. The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis when tested at ECACC. It is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.
Application
Investigation of the properties of malignant mesothelioma cells and the development of new diagnostic methods.
