Description
Description: Established from the lymph node of a 51 year old Caucasian male. The cells synthesise small quantities of CEA and are highly tumorigenic in nude mice. The established cell line consists of small spherical and bipolar cells resembling microvilli.The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis when tested at ECACC. It is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.
