Properties
Karyotype | The cell line is aneuploid female (modal number = 64, range = 52 to 68), with chromosome counts in the near-triploid range. Normal chromosomes N8 and N15 were absent. Eleven stable rearranged marker chromosomes are noted as well as unassignable chromosomes in addition to the majority of autosomes that are trisomic. Many of the marker chromosomes are identical to those shown in the karyotype reported by K.L. Satya-Prakash, et al. |

Receptor Expression |
epidermal growth factor (EGF), expressed
transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha), expressed
|
Oncogene | The cells express the WNT7B oncogene. Ref |
Tumorigenic | Yes |
Effects |
Yes, in ALS treated BALB/c mice, forms poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (grade III)
Yes, in nude mice, forms poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (grade III)

Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Leibovitz''''''''s L-15 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2008. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
(Note: The L-15 medium formulation was devised for use in a free gas exchange with atmospheric air. A CO2 and air mixture is detrimental to cells when using this medium for cultivation) |
