| Remarks |
The donor is 25% at risk for Alzheimer's disease. The skin biopsy was taken ante-mortem from the forearm. Culture was initiated on 12/10/84 using explants of minced skin. The cell morphology is fibroblast-like. Culture was frozen at PDL 5. A lymphoblast culture from same donor is AG07578. |
