UKE-1

Description: Established from the primary lesion resected from a 76-year-old woman with bulky, moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva in 1984; cells were reported to express an elevated number of high affinity EGF receptors, to carry gene amplification at 11q13 and to be tumorigenic in nude mice

Description: Established from the solid tumor of a 52-year-old Caucasian man with advanced stage malignant bile duct carcinoma (patient had not received any chemotherapy prior to cell explantation) in 1984 and three consecutive passages in female nu/nu mice (NMRI); primary tumor histology: large cell adenocarcinoma of low differentiation, metastasizing (ascites in patient); human character of cell line confirmed by karyotype in passage #34 of in vitro culture (1986)

Description: Subclone of ACH1P which was established by fusion of the JEG-3-derived HGPRT-defective mutant cell line AC1-1 with primary male trophoblast cells isolated from term human chorion laeve; described as possessing both, a distinct karyotype and a distinct expression pattern of tumor-related genes

Description: One of five phenotypically and cytogenetically distinct subclones of a hybrid (ACH1P) formed by fusing an HGPRT-defective mutant (AC1-1) of JEG-3 human choriocarcinoma with primary human trophoblast (chorion laeve) cells

Description: Established by somatic hybridization of primary male trophoblast cells and the HGPRT-defective choriocarcinoma cell line AC1-1 which was originally derived from cell line JEG-3

Description: NTERA-2 was cloned from cell line TERA-2 which was derived from a metastatic teratocarcinoma of a 22-year-old Caucasian male; cell line also known as NT-2
