I would like to have as a control for my experiments, a non cancerous cell line of bone origin. Hfob is a an alternative but didn´t find someone who cultivates this cell line in Brasil.
Thanks for help.

You may want to contact the authors of:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18979172
All are in Brazil.
And note that "Hfob" is an alternative name for "Hfob 1.19", not a separate cell line. See:
http://web.expasy.org/cellosaurus/CVCL_3708
Vc pode entrar em contato com o Banco de Células do Rio de Janeiro (é só digitar no Google).
Acho q nós temos esta linhagem em nosso Banco de Células, mas, como não a usamos há muito tempo, seria necessário descongelar e caracterizar extensamente. Infelizmente, não temos apoio técnico para isto. Em todo caso, aqui vai meu Fone:

Boa sorte Mozart!
Thank you Prof. Sogayar and Bairoch. I did try to contact some o f the authors but got no answer or from another group they didn´t cultivate the cell line anymore.
I didn´t notice, however, Prof. Sogayar was in that paper, who I actually know from my times as a undergrad student. Kind as she always was to me, she left me her contact.
Prof. Sogayar, I usually buy cell from the Cell Bank in Rio de Janeiro but this one is not in their catalog. I will contact them as you suggested just to be a hundred per cent sure.
I conduct cytotoxic screening with osteosarcoam cell lines (U2O, MG63 and Saos2) and the hfob would be a control for a normal osteoblast cell line. I could use some mouse cell lines (i.e. MC3T3-E1 ) but referees are getting difficult about using mouse cells as a control. So I though hfoB would be an alternative.
Would you or Prof. Bairoch has any suggestions?
Thank you.
