title: Cross-contamination of cell lines as revealed by DNA fingerprinting in the IFO animal cell bank.
abstract: For quality control of cell lines, the Institute for Fermentation, Osaka (IFO) animal cell bank recently introduced DNA fingerprinting analysis, which enables verification of cell lines at the individual level, to detect cross-culture contamination. By using this analysis, we found two cases of cross-contamination of cell lines.
