Tumorigenic:Yes, in cheek pouches of anti thymocyte serum treated hamsters, not tumorigenic in nude mice
Karyotype:The stemline chromosome number is hypotetraploid with the 2S component occurring at 6.2%. Nine markers were common to most S metaphases, four markers were less frequent. One (occasionally 2 copies) homogenous staining region (HSR) (t(11,HSR) was present in all metaphases examined, but no double minutes (DM) were detected (Sekiguchi 1978).
