Cell Lines and Cell Cultures
ATCC Pfizer Pneumococcal; polysaccharide powder; Type 30 (15A) 200mg
Purified pneumococcal polysaccharide type 15A is manufactured by Pfizer, Inc. for small quantity distribution by ATCC. The pneumococcal polysaccharide type 15A can be used to assay for type-specific antibodies, research immune responses, and study immunodeficiencies.
ATCC Quantitative Genomic; RNA from Human; parainfluenza virus 2; Strain Greer
Quantitative Genomic RNA from Human parainfluenza virus 2 strain Greer can be used for assay development, verification, and validation as well as monitoring of day-to-day test variation and lot-to-lot performance of molecular-based assays. The quantitative format allows for the generation of a standard curve for quantitative PCR (qPCR) to determine viral load.
ATCC Leishmania infantum; MHOM/TN/80/IPT-1; genomic DNA
Genomic DNA isolated from Leishmania infantum MHOM/TN/80/IPT-1.
ATCC Clostridium perfringens
Clostridium perfringens strain 43F4 is a bacterium that was isolated in Baltimore, Maryland, from human bile. This strain is toxigenic (Toxinotype A) and was confirmed by PCR to have the cpa, cpe, cpb2, and pfoA genes.
ATCC HCC 1428; Breast Adenocarcinoma; Human (Homo sapiens)
HCC1428 is an epithelial cell that was isolated from the mammary gland of a 49-year old, White female patient with adenocarcinoma, TNM stage IV, grade 4. The cell was deposited by AF Gazdar and AK Virmani and can be used in cancer research.
ATCC Human herpesvirus 5; Strain: Merlin; Human cytomegalovirus
Human herpesvirus 5 strain Merlin is propagated in MRC-5 cells (ATCC CCL-171). This strain was isolated from the urine of a congenitally infected infant and was deposited by the Cardiff Public Health Laboratory. It has applications in infectious disease and sexually transmitted disease research.
ATCC Candida glabrata; NCCLS 84
An ampoule containing viable cells (may include spores and mycelia) suspended in cryoprotectant.
ATCC Quantitative Genomic DNA from; Aspergillus niger; Strain: A1144 3528.7
Quantitative Genomic DNA from Aspergillus niger strain A1144 3528.7 can be used for assay development, verification, and validation as well as monitoring of day-to-day test variation and lot-to-lot performance of molecular-based assays. The quantitative format allows for the generation of a standard curve for quantitative PCR (qPCR) to determine fungal load.
ATCC Ureaplasma parvum
Ureaplasma parvum strain Pi was isolated from the urethra of a patient with Reiter's Syndrome. This strain is serotype VI.
