Abstract
The Interlab Cell Line Collection (ICLC) was established in 1994 as a core facility of the National Institute of Cancer Research. It supplies: human and animal cell lines; Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling of human cell lines; quality control service; mycoplasma detection and eradication service; safe deposit service and patent deposit service of cell lines and hybridomas. The catalogue of services is on-line, and the cell lines are distributed all over the world.
Highlights
The Interlab Cell Line Collection (ICLC) was established in 1994 as a core facility of the National Institute of Cancer Research
ICLC soon became a point of reference at a national and international level for biomedical and biotech researchers [4, 5]; since 2010 it acts as reference laboratory for authentication of human cell lines through Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling [6]
ICLC belongs to the European Culture Collections Organization and to the network of International Deposit Authorities (IDA) for patent purposes http://www. wipo.int/export/sites/www/treaties/en/registration/ budapest/pdf/ida.pdf
