Catalogue Number | 152843 |
Host | Human |
Tissue | Larynx |
Disease Keywords | Larynx squamous cell carcinoma (lymph node metastasis) |
Model | Tumour line |
Relevance | Adherent keratinocyte cell line derived from a lymph node metastasis squamous cell carcinoma (SSC) of the larynx. Keratin and involucrin markers present. Known mutations: p53, p16 and p14ARF. Cells are tumourigenic in athymic mice. By short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis the Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line. It is a known phenomenon that SSC cell lines can lose their Y chromosome. |
Research Area | Apoptosis and Programmed Cell Death, Cancer, Drug Discovery & Development, Epigenetics & Nuclear Signalling |
Growth/Phenotype Keywords | Adherent |
Recommended Growing Conditions | DMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) + 0.4 micrograms/ml Hydrocortisone. |
