| Synonyms: | V79-4 |
| Background: | In 1966, E.H.Y. Chu obtained the line from W. Sinclair, and isolated the V79-4 clone. This cell line was developed by Ford and Yerganian in 1958 from lung tissue of a young male Chinese hamster, and was originally designated Strain V. A culture at passage 7 after cloning was submitted to the ATCC in July 1988. |
