ATCC CRL2812
Human melanoma cell line, which harbors BRAFV600E and CDK4 mutations. There is a major contamination (70-80%) of mouse chromosomes in this cell line. The 1205Lu (ATCC CRL2812) cell line was derived from lung metastases of WM793B cells (ATCC CRL2806) after subcutaneous injection into immunodeficient mice. The WM793B line was established from skin taken from the primary melanoma of a vertical growth phase (VGP) lesion taken from the sternum of a patient on 01/07/83.
