【 摘 要 】

Certified cell line models provide ideal experimental platforms to answer countless scientific questions. The LL-100 panel is a cohort of cell lines that are broadly representative of all leukemia–lymphoma entities (including multiple myeloma and related diseases), rigorously authenticated and validated, and comprehensively annotated. The process of the assembly of the LL-100 panel was based on evidence and experience. To expand the genetic characterization across all LL-100 cell lines, we performed whole-exome sequencing and RNA sequencing. Here, we describe the conception of the panel and showcase some exemplary applications with a focus on cancer genomics. Due diligence was paid to exclude cross-contaminated and non-representative cell lines. As the LL-100 cell lines are so well characterized and readily available, the panel will be a valuable resource for identifying cell lines with mutations in cancer genes, providing superior model systems. The data also add to the current knowledge of the molecular pathogenesis of leukemia–lymphoma. Additional efforts to expand the breadth of available high-quality cell lines are clearly warranted.
