Karyotype	The cell line is aneuploid human (XX), with chromosome counts in the hypotriploid range. Normal chromosomes N1, N13, N14, N15, and N16 are clearly under-represented with respect to the copy number of other normal chromosomes, while chromosome N7, N12, and N17 tend to be over-represented in some metaphases. Eight markers are identified: del(1)(q21), der(1)t(1;2)(p36;q21), ?tdic(1;12)(p36;q24), ampl.t(4pter--->4q11::HSR::4q12--->4q24::HSR?::4q26--->4q35::2q15--->2pter), 13p+, 13p++, 14p+, t(14q15q), iso(14q), 19q+, del(3)(p14p24), 15p+.
Clinical Data	52 years Caucasian male
Tumorigenic	Yes
Comments	The SK-HEP-1 line has been identified as being of endothelial origin.

Complete Growth Medium	The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing	Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels. Incubate cultures at 37°C. Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
Cryopreservation	Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions	Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO₂), 5% Temperature: 37°C
