The total number of human tumor cell lines is probably too great to count accurately, but given the established sum from hematopoietic tumors alone, over 1000 known samples (1), the grand total may well exceed 10,000. Because only a minority of these cell lines are in regular use, individuals describing new cell lines should justify their establishment during characterization.
