S2 Isolate Backround

When the DGRC was established in 2004, our original cell line collection included many lines that were simply transferred from the Cherbas lab collection; among these were S2 cells (stock #6), which we simply referred to as "S2". These cells were a gift from Cheeptip Benyajati to the Cherbas lab around 1980; we have no knowledge of their earlier history. In 2016, after it became obvious that the literature contained many reference to S2, some of which were the S2 cells distributed by the DGRC, some were other isolates, and some were of unknown origin, we renamed our stock #6 as S2-DGRC, in order to distinguish them from other S2 isolates. Note: This line is named for the DGRC (Drosophila Genomics Resource Center).
