| Remarks |
The biopsy site is the mesial aspect of the mid-upper left arm, taken antemortem. The primary culture was initiated from explants of a 2 mm-punch biopsy. Donor has been diagnosed with noninsulin-dependent diabetes and high blood pressure. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. A culture initiated from a biopsy taken 13 years earlier from this same donor is AG13097. |
