Organism Homo sapiens, human
Tissue mammary gland/breast; derived from metastatic site: pleural effusion
Product Format frozen

Karyotype modal number =73; range = 65 to 76. The stemline chromosome number is hypertriploid with the 2S component occurring at 0.8%. Ten markers (del(2), t(6;?), t(6;?), t(2;12), t(14;?), and single or paired M6, M7, M8, M9, and M10) were common to all cells, and four others (M13, M15, M16, and t(13,21) occurred in some cells. The X chromosome was generally tetrasomic and chromosome 4 was tetrasomic or pentasomic (P35). No Y chromosomes were detected in QM stained preparations.
Clinical Data
female
Caucasian
Antigen Expression
Blood Type O
Genes Expressed
amelogenin (X chromosome)(AMELEX)
Tumorigenic No
Comments

The cells express the WNT7B oncogene [PubMed: 8168088].

The patient presenting with the tumor was from Paraguay and, although listed as Caucasian, may have had mixed ancestry as suggested by the presence of G6PD type A phenotype in the cells.

The line forms flat, spreading plaques of epithelia which exhibit desmosomes, extensive microtubules and microfilaments upon examination with the electron microscope. 

It is not amenable to trypsinization.
