Mantle Cell Lymphoma Cell Bank is Now Available

The Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF), in collaboration with American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), has recently created a Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) Cell Bank.  The Cell Bank is a collection of various MCL lines created by scientists from all over the world.  The idea for the Cell Bank was generated by the scientists that make up the MCL Consortium (MCLC).  It was created to provide a single, centralized location where scientists can easily acquire high-quality, well-characterized MCL cell lines in an effort to accelerate discoveries in MCL.
