Does anyone know of any MPNST cell lines with NF1 point mutations?

06 June 2014 0 10K Report

It seems as if most MPNST cell lines have microdeletions or other mutations, I'm particularly interested in tracking down an MPNST cell line that has a point mutation in NF1 as opposed to a larger deletion.
