Human schwannoma - (Mar/24/2008 )

Hello ,

Does anyone know a place where I can find human shwannoma cell lines?
ATCC has human schwann-like cells. I don´t know what this is... Are there any other 'cell banks'?

Appreciate u're help...
BioPe!

I found this paper which sites where they got their cell lines. Maybe you can write and request these lines as well? Otherwise, check the literature to find a group who has used the cell lines you want and then request them or see where they got the cells from.

The Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Kinase Inhibitor PD184352 (CI-1040) Selectively Induces Apoptosis in Malignant Schwannoma Cell Lines

This is a quote from the methods and materials:
"Human malignant schwannoma cell lines ST88-14 and NF90-8 (a generous gift from T. Glover, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI) and STS-26T (a generous gift from D. Scoles, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA)"

Thanks for the help, rkay447!

I think it would be easier if the cell were available for anyone to buy...
