Properties
| Karyotype |
Modal number = 79; range = 71 to 83 This is a hypertriploid human cell line with the modal chromosome number of 79, occurring in 20% of cells. The rate of cells with a higher ploidy was 5.5%. Karyotypes were very complex. There were over 22 marker chromosomes commonly present in most cells, many with complex structural rearrangements. Among these markers were: double copies for t(10qter--10q11.2::?::13C--13qter) and der(9)t(3;9) (p12;p22?), and one copy each for del (1) (p22) and i (iq). There were two normal X chromosomes per cell. Normal chromosomes Y, N1, N5, N14, and N15 were not found. Chromosomes N20 and N22 generally had four or more copies per cell. |
