CLDB, the first database set up within the Interlab Project, contains detailed information on 4.850 human and animal cell lines that are available in many Italian laboratories and in some of the most important European cell banks and cell culture collections.
If you want to start an on-line search you can:
Navigate HyperCLDB, also by means of Free text search and by Cell line name index.
HyperCLDB now includes links to PubMed data base of bibliographic biomedical references.

Contents
The most relevant data refer to:
Identification (name, typology, karyology, morphology,...)
| |
Origin (tissue, species, tumour, pathology,...)
| |
Properties (specific functions, products and applications)
| |
Preservation and culture characteristics
| |
Retrieval sources (bibliographic references, catalogue codes,...)
|
Extensively characterized cell lines (immunological profile, cytogenetic analysis...)
| |
Quality control (identity and sterility)
|
The value of data included in CLDB is witnessed by the following three indices:
High percentage of cell lines that have never been described previously in any other catalogue (ca. 54%)
High percentage of cell lines included in well characterized cell culture collections (ca. 82%)
These indices show that the CLDB contents are truly original.
