Abstract A new cell line of a human uterine cervical adenocarcinoma, designated as CAC-1, was established from a moderately differenciated adenocarcinoma of the cervix. CAC-1 was subcultivated more than 60 times during 14 months. The population doubling time was 31 hours. Number of chromosome in the majority of cells was hypertriploidy with a mode of 75 at the 51th passage. In the cytoplasm, PAS, Alcian Blue and CEA stain-ing positive substance could be seen. CA-125 and TPA was found in the cultured media. The histology of the nude mice inoculated of the CAC-1 showed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. And these histological findings closely resembled to the original tumor. CAC-1 was also used for a drug sensitivity test against 12 anticancer drugs by microcolonies inhibi-tion test. The in vitro sensitivity was defined as less than 30% colony survival. VP-16 and MMC showed sensitivity at peak plasma concentration for 1 hour exposure. ACM, ACD, MMC, VP-16, ADM, VCR, VLB and CDDP showed sensitivity at 1/10 peak plasma concentration for 24 hours exposure.
