Applications	VA-ES-BJ is an epithelioid sarcoma cell line derived in 1991 from a bone marrow metastasis removed from an adult male with primary vertebral epithelioid carcinoma. The cells are sensitive to hemin. The cell are positive for immunohistochemical staining for the following: AE-1 and AE-3 cytokeratins, fas, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), vimentin and p53.

Karyotype	near triploid karyotype with structural as well as numerical abnormalities; modal number = 65. Rearrangements of both chromosomes 1 and 9 with unknown materials were present., Five copies of chromosome 7 were seen in almost every cell, and there was no intact Y chromosome present. Cell to cell variation was due to numerical differences only, structural abnormalities were very consistent.
