I was missing these cell lines (there are 3 of them) in the Cellosaurus, so I prepared entries for them and "digged" a bit on where you can get them. It looks to me that groups using them all have got them from the lab that created them, that of George Stoica at TAMU. So you will need to contact him and I guess you will need to indicate which one you need as they have different phenotypes. See below.

Thank you very much Amos Bairoch for the information. I did contact Professor Stoica, who is now retired, and he reached to colleagues at his former institution, but unfortunately, they said they don't have those cells anymore :(

Dear Henriette

Many thanks for the feedback. For the next release of the Cellosaurus I will indicate that these cell lines are no longer available.

Hi Amos,

There is a lab at the University of Oxford (UK) that has the cells. But we have not yet been able to get a vial shipped to us. Still working on that, hopefully we will be able to obtain some.

Thank you.
