Abstract This cell line designated as PLA-802 was derived from the pleuro-pulmonary metastatic tumour of a patient with laryngeal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma 8 hrs after death. It had been transferred for 168 passages in a period of twenty three months. The tumour cells of the cell line consisted of two cytologic types, round and fusiform. Cross-striation was demonstrated in the cells under light microscopy. On electron microscopic observation parallel microfilaments with altered Z band had been found. The growth curve of the cell line was determined from the 56th and 104th passages and the cell number were counted daily for a week in each session. The growth curves were similar in both passages. The doubling time of cell proliferation was 42 hrs. The mode chromosome was 84 and the marker chromosomes in most cells were present in the form of large telomere in the D group. The characteristics of this cell line are rapid proliferation, high malignancy and with properties of myogenic tumour. Other observations such as the Con-A agglutination, planting efficiency, animal transplantation and electron microscopic examination are briefly discussed.
