Properties
Karyotype | This is a quasidiploid human cell line with the modal number 46 occurring in 76% of cells (range = 41 to 47 for 50 metaphases).The rate of polyploidy was 5.1%. The karyotype of the line 46, XY, -8,-11, -17, t(8:17)(p23:q21), inv(11)(p15.3q13.1). The Y chromosome was slightly longer than N22, and had a large segment of heterochromatic, fluorescent distal q arms. |

Derivation |
Evidence from DNA fingerprinting indicates that this line and DLD-1 (ATCC CCL-221) are derived from the same individual; however, isoenzymology and cytogenetic data leave some doubt.
|
Clinical Data |
male
|
Genes Expressed |
carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) 5.4 ng/106 cells/10 days. The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.

Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, ATCC 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (ATCC 30-2020) to a final concentration of 10%. |
