Cellosaurus FLC-4 (CVCL_D204)

[Text version]
Cell line name FLC-4
Synonyms FLC4; Functional Liver Cell-4
Accession CVCL_D204
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: FLC-4 (RRID:CVCL_D204)
Comments Group: Patented cell line.
Registration: International Depositary Authority, Japanese National Institute of Bioscience and Human-Technology, Agency of Industrial Science and Technology; FERM BP-5165.
Population: Japanese.
Omics: Transcriptome analysis by microarray.
Caution: FLC-4 is often stated to be synonymous with JHH-4 (Cellosaurus=CVCL_2787), but the patent reference (Patent=US5804441) seems to indicate that FLC-4 is derived from JHH-4 and has a different karyotype.
