| 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. |
