Karyotype
|
modal number = 93; range = 85 to 95. The cell line is aneuploid human female, with chromosome counts in the tetraploid range. Normal chromosomes N16 and N21 are least well represented, with from none to two copies per karyotype, while chromosome N7 tends to be over-represented, with four or five copies per karyotype, whereas two to four copies are found of most of the remaining normal chromosomes. Twenty-two marker chromosomes are found including: iso(1q), del(1)(q32), der(1)t(1;?)(p36;?), del(3)(q24), der(3)t(3;?)(q24;?), del(3)(p14p25), t(6q;21?) and others. Eight are identical to those reported or portrayed in the report by A.J. Langlois, et al.

Numerous desmosomes and interdigitating microvilli were observed by transmission electron microscopy. This line grows in floating clusters and viability cannot be determined accurately with dye exclusion tests.
