Please be aware that HBL-100 is known to be misidentified and it is unclear if these cells are actually from breast. Some authentic stocks may exist; stocks can be authenticated using a test method such as short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. For a list of known cross-contaminated or otherwise misidentified cell lines, see http://iclac.org/databases/cross-contaminations/.
