Notes
Morphology: cells are mostly single, small, fibroblastlike cells; Karyology: polyploid with chromosomes ranging from 56 to 180; Growth characteristics: growth rate varied greatly depending on seeding density; Authentication: isozyme analysis was used to confirm identity; Unique properties: effect of UVC light on growth and incorporation of thymidine is determined in this cell line.
