Chang Liver

Chang liver cell line was originally thought to be derived from normal liver tissue, but was subsequently found, based on isoenzyme analysis, HeLa marker chromosomes, and DNA fingerprinting, to have been established via HeLa cell contamination.

The cell line that has come to be known as “Chang Liver” originated from the biopsy of a patient during an exploratory laparotomy in the early 1950s. In 1967, A researcher presented evidence that Chang Liver (among many other supposedly “unique” cell lines) displayed glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and phosphoglucomutase (PGM) isoforms that were identical to HeLa cells (3). Chang liver cell line became known for its unique characteristics despite being contaminated with HeLa cells. Chang liver can be considered “notorious” because the contaminating cell line (the famous HeLa) is well known to the community, and because the misidentification of Chang liver has been known for more than half a century.
