自2009年7月1日起，美国癌症研究协会的杂志对投稿文章所使用的细胞提出了身份验证的要求。要求在文章的方法与材料部分，详细介绍所使用细胞情况，包括： 1. From where and when the cells were obtained
2. Whether the cell lines have been tested and authenticated
3. The method by which the cells were tested
4. How and when the cells were last tested
If cells were obtained directly from a cell bank that performs cell line characterizations and passaged in the user!@$%s laboratory for fewer than 6 months after receipt or resuscitation, re-authorization is not required. In these cases, please include the method of characterization used by the cell bank.
