Lung Cancer Cell Line

Description

A triploid cell line from lung, metastatic site, pleural effusion adenocarcinoma, held at ATCC. Karyotyped in collaboration with the Sanger Institute.

   
Notable Features

Triploid, highly rearranged, with 16 clonal structural abnormalities. Translocations involve chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, with losses of chromosome 4, 5, 6, 8p, 11, 13, 19, 21, Y and gain of 16. The majority of rearrangements are simple and unbalanced. Double minutes (DM) were found in 6 cells, the majority of DM involve chromosomes 1, 5, 8, 11.
