A Call for Action: Eradication of Cross Contaminated Cell Lines: Roland M Nardone 1. It is proposed that government and private funding agencies be prevailed upon to require cell line authentication as a condition for the award of grant and contract funds. 2. It is also proposed that key scientific journals be prevailed upon to require cell line authentication as a condition for publication.

9.Cell Line Authentication. The authentication of cell lines is considered an important part of the preliminary data described in any grant application. Applicants should also ensure that all cell lines to be used during the proposed research are adequately authenticated
