. EVB transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) were shipped to ECACC (European COllection of Cell Cultures) as live cultures (06/2011 - 09/2011), in batches of ~ 30 samples from Coriell (GBR,FIN & TSI) and 2 x ~90 samples (CEU & YRI) from University of Geneva. In ECACC, the cell lines were cultured to approximately 1.2 x 10e8 cells (06/2011-10/2011). Snap frozen pellets of 2 x 10e7 cells were produced from proliferating cultures without additives.
