Eh?
T24 bladder carcinoma is identical with the EJ bladder carcinoma
cell line. Some kind of contamination event, no doubt.
Also, perhaps you are confusing the above mixup with the alternative
nomenclatures for certain lymphokines (protein molecules,
as opposed to cell lines).
T-cell growth factor is now interleukin 2 (IL-2).
IL-6, I think, was once called B-cell growth factor,
if I am wrong please wait for the flames.
