Description

Cell Line Origin

Human nasal septum quasidiploid tumour

Cell Line Description

From the pleural effusion of an extensive malignant tumour of the nasal septum, diagnosed as anaplastic squamous cell carcinoma. Nearly normal karyotype, stability of chromosome number and probable origin from malignant cells make the cell line unique amongst permanent human cell lines. Cells are very small and grow in clusters fusing to form thick layers.
