| Date | Name of a resource concerned | Incident | Measures taken |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 26, 2023 | RCB1981 HD-Mar2 (Hodgkin lymphoma cell line) RCB1435 KE-97 (Stomach cancer cell line) |
Derived cell type is different from the registered information of the depositor, respectively. (reference) | HD-Mar2 is distributed with the corrected characteristic information. Distribution of KE-97 was stopped. |
