Description

Description: Established from a poorly differentiated invasive oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma resected from middle intra-thoracic oesophagus of a 77-year-old Japanese man prior to treatment. This cell line has been mycoplasma eradicated at ECACC. By short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis the Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line. It is a known phenomenon that SSC cell lines can lose their Y chromosome.
