Properties
Karyotype | This is a hypodiploid human cell line with the modal chromosome number of 44 occurring in 48% of cells. The rate of higher ploidy was 5.9%., Twelve markers were common to all cells, including der(1)t(1;3) (p22;q21), der(16)t(1;16) (p22;p12), del(9) (p13) and nine others. The marker der(1) had two copies in most cells. There was only one copy of normal X. N1, N6 and N9 were not found. |

Derivation | This is one of a number of cell lines derived from malignant gliomas (see also ATCC® HTB-15™ and HTB-16™) by J. Ponten and associates from 1966 to 1969 (see also Allen, 2016). |
Clinical Data | male |
Tumorigenic | Yes |
Effects |
Yes, in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 10(7) cells
|
Comments |
Mycoplasma contamination was eliminated in September 1975.
The ATCC® HTB-14™ cell line was deposited at ATCC in 1982.
STR profiling, Y-chromosome paint, and Q-band assay confirmed that the cell line is male in origin. Based on current literature, the cell line is likely a glioblastoma of CNS origin (Allen, 2016).

Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Eagle''''''''s Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. |
