Description

Description: The cell line HKT-1097 has been established from a 14 month old male Syrian Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) kidney tumour which has been induced by diethylstilbestrol exposure. HKT-1097 cells express epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, Erb-B2 and Erb-B3 as well as vimentin, desmin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), TGF alpha, PGP 9.5 and S100 protein and neuron-specific enolase. Karyotype analysis revealed a modal number of 44 chromosomes (41% of cells) and polyploidy in approximately 2% of cells. The cells have a doubling time of about 36 hours.
