| Abstract |
A human cervical carcinoma cell line, CC-135-VGH, has been established
from a epidermoid carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The chromosome number
of CC-135-VGH ranged from 44 to 48 with a modal number of 45. The cell
doubling time was about 44 hours. Immunohistostain of CC-135-VGH cells for
epithelial membrane antibody (EMA), desmin, vimentin and tumor markers
CA-125, carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and human placenta alkaline
phophatase (HPAP) were negative; only those of cytoskeleton, myoglobin and
fibronectin were positive. The secretion of tumor markers by CC-135-VGH
cells was also examined. The secretion of CA-125 was lower than 40mu/ml,
followed by CEA (2 ng/ml) and HPAP (11 mIU/ml).
