Cell Type Epithelial
Product Format frozen
Morphology epithelial
Culture Properties suspension, multicell aggregates, Cells in suspension show an inclination to form duct-like structures and gland-like structures.
Biosafety Level 1
Disease TNM stage IIIA, grade 2,primary ductal carcinoma

Applications
HCC2157 is positive for the epithelial cell specific marker Epithelial Glycoprotein 2 (EGP2) and for cytokeratin 19.
The cells are negative for expression of estrogen receptor (ER -), but positive for expression of progesterone receptor (PR +).
The cells are positive for expression of Her2-neu and for expression of p53.
The cells form ducts and morula-like structures (hollow spherical structures lined with a single layer of cells).
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor temperature
Karyotype Number of cells examined = 59; Modal Chromosome Number = 75 with a range of 65 to 79; Polyploidy Rate = 22%
Derivation
This cell line was initiated on 3/4/96 and took 8 months to establish.
An EBV transformed lymphoblastoid cell line (HCC2157 BL) from the same patient is available as ATCC CRL-2341.
