Comments: Miscellaneous: HeLa is the most frequent contributor to cell lines contamination., Anecdotal: Was flown since the 1960s on at least ten different space missions: Korabl-Sputnik-2, Vostok-1, Vostok-4, Vostok-5 and Vostok-6, Voshkod 1 and Zond-5, Discoverer XVIII, Progress M-35/Mir and Shuttle STS-89., Anecdotal: The HeLa cell line and its story inspired Australian artist Cynthia Verspaget to embark in 2003 on a artistic project 'The Anarchy Cell Line' (TAnCL) where she mixed her blood with HeLa cells. This work later spawned a PhD thesis (CelloPub=CLPUB00376) where among other things she makes the observation that two main taxonomical distinctions present in the zombie, living/dead and human/nonhuman, are also present in the HeLa cell line., Anecdotal: The fascinating story of the HeLa cell line and of Henrietta Lacks from whom these cells originate are described in the book of Rebecca Skloot (CelloPub=CLPUB00377)., Anecdotal: The HeLa cell line which was established in February 1951 is the oldest human immortal cell line., Virology: Not susceptible to infection by SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (COVID-19) (PubMed=33389257)., Virology: HeLa has 5 five HPV18 integration sites: three on normal chromosomes 8 at 8q24 and two on derivative chromosomes, der(5)t(5;22;8)(q11;q11q13;q24) and der(22)t(8;22) (q24;q13)., Population: African American., Part of: Naval Biosciences Laboratory (NBL) collection (transferred to ATCC in 1982)., Part of: MD Anderson Cell Lines Project., Part of: Human Protein Atlas, Cell Atlas panel., Part of: COSMIC cell lines project., Part of: Cancer Dependency Map project (DepMap) (includes Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia - CCLE)., Group: Space-flown cell line (cellonaut).
