A method for the storage and retrieval of laboratory data on human lymphoblastoid cell lines

A computer-based system has been developed for the handling and retrieval of data on long-term human lymphoblastoid cell lines. It permits accurate recording of a wide range of genetic markers and other defined characteristics for the donor of each culture and for individual aliquots of any cell line. The data is recorded in relation to the in vitro age of each aliquot studied and the programme is designed to permit both the sequential examination of a single cell line and the comparison of lines of different origins. It is hoped that, by the application of this type of system, the confusion which has arisen in relation to other long-term cell lines (and which threatens to develop in relation to human lymphoblastoid cell lines) may be avoided and that the exchange of information between laboratories may be facilitated.
