MA 160 and EB33 cell lines: HeLa cell contaminants, hybrids or prostatic epithelial cells?

J E Pontes et al. In Vitro. 1979 Jul.

Abstract

Studies of acid phosphates produced by cell lines MA 160 and EB 33 demonstrated immunochemically their prostatic origin. MA 160 and EB 33, rather than being HeLa contaminants, may be hybrids of prostatic epithelial and HeLa cells or true prostatic cell lines with chromosomal changes common to all long-term cultivated cell lines.
