Notes
Morphology: this cell line grows as an attached monolayer of small, spindle-shaped cells; Karyology: chromosome numbers were trimodal at 68, 81 and 125 with a range of 26-390 and a mean of 120; Unique properties: IAL-PID2 cells did not appear to change morphologically upon exposure to 20-hydroxyecdysone.
