Karpas 299 (ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma, a PTCL subtype) and HuT78 (CTCL) cell lines were obtained from ATCC, Gaithersburg, MD, USA. Mac-1 (developed by M.E.K.) was derived from circulating CTCL cells from a patient with multiple T-cell neoplasms [34 (link)]. Karpas 299 and Mac-1 were maintained in RPMI 1640 (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Clontech Laboratories, Inc, Mountain View, CA, USA) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA). HuT78 was maintained in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) containing 15% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. All cell lines were electroporated with 300V for 10 msec in antibiotic-free medium using the ECM 830 electroporation system (BTX Harvard Apparatus).

Cell lines L540 (DSMZ, ACC72; RRID:CVCL_1362; human female), KARPAS 299 (DSMZ, ACC31, RRID:CVCL_1324; human male), HDLM-2 (DSMZ, ACC17; RRID:CVCL_0009; human male), and A20 (ATCC, TIB-208; RRID:CVCL_1940; mouse) were originally purchased from the vendors listed and since maintained by the Seagen cell bank (2016–2023). For each study, cell lines were requested from the cell bank and aliquots were thawed and cultured for periods between 1 and 3 weeks. Cell bank cell lines are routinely checked for contamination, including Mycoplasma, and cell line identity authentication by an STR-based DNA profiling and multiplex PCR, CellCheck 16–Human, or CellCheck 19 Mouse Plus, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. Following any cell line modifications or cloning, expanded lines were resubmitted for pathogen burden and cell line identity validation before experimental use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
