Karyotype
|
This is a hyperdiploid human cell line. The modal chromosome number is 49, occurring in 50% of cells. The rate of polyploidy is 2.2%. There is one marker chromosome, der(17)t(17;17)(p13.1;q21.3), that occurred in every cell. These cells are trisomic for N3, N6, N8, and N13, and occasionally also for N2. N17 and X chromosome had a single copy, but occasionally the X had two copies. Thus the modal karyotype of this cell line is 49, X, +3, +6, +8, +der(17)t(17;17)(p13.1;q21.3), -17. The subline with 50, X, +2, +3, +6, +8, +der(17)t(17;17)(p13.1;q21.3), -17 and 50, XX, +3, +6, +8, +der(17)t(17;17)(p13.1;q21.3, -17 also occurred, but at a very low frequency.

Comments
|
Interleukin-3 (interleukin 3, IL-3) and granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) act synergistically to stimulate growth of the cells. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) also supports short term and long term growth of AML-193 cells and acts synergistically with GM-CSF in inducing proliferation of the cells.
