Is there a source (say a book) that lists the cell lines available and
their specific characteristics? This would be very handy, especially
since most of the cell line info I get for my work is based on reading of
the use of a given cell line in another study. In addition, in working
on my prelims, I am working on a research proposal that requires work
with several cell lines. I chose two lines that I am specifically
familiar with rather than because they had some special aspect of use.
Is there such a source?
Thanks,
