Abstract We have established a new cancer cell line of human ovarian carcinoma in long term culture. This cell line was obtained from 60 year-old patient during initial operation without prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Cells from tumor mass were grown in culture as monolayers with the separate use of RPMI-1640 containing fetal cord serum. The growth curve of cell line was measured comparably. The cell line has been maintained for one year, and passaged over 80 times. The histologic pattern of tissue culture cell line was indistinguishable from that of original ovarian carcinoma. Heterotransplantation of tumor mass. Ultrastructural analysis of tumor cell showed specific morphological feature and receptor study showed negative for both estrogen and progesteron receptor. They also showed human chromosome pattern, and showed specific ectopic hormone production. This new cell line will be of utility in investigations of tumor specific antigens, ectopic hormone production, immunotherapy, inununodiagnosis and sensitivity to radiation and chemotherapeutic agents.
