Tumorigenic:Yes, produces tumors in nude mice consistent with fibrosarcoma
Karyotype:Hypertriploid. Modal number = 73, range = 59 to 79. The rate of higher ploidies was 9.1%. Eleven markers were common to most cells. These include: der(2)t(2,6)(p13,q13), der(12)t(8,12)(q11,q24), t(15q21q), 19q+, t(8p21q?) and six others. Of these, the der(2) and t(8p21q?) were generally paired. A few cells had double minutes (DM)(one per cell when present).There were 4 copies of N1, N18, N20 and N22 in most cells. Normal 15 and Y were absent. The x was paired in all cells.
