| Remarks |
The IMR-91 skin-derived line was initiated on 2/24/76 from explants of minced skin tissue from an approximately 12 week fetus. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. The karyotype is 46,XY; normal diploid male. The HLA type is A2, A11, B18 and B5. G6PD is isoenzyme type B and 6PGD is isoenzyme type A. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
