ACC 785
Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
osteosarcoma
Origin:
established in 1964 from a moderately differentiated osteogenic sarcoma of the tibia of a 15-year-old girl; cells were described in the literature to secrete osteosarcoma-derived growth factor (ODGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) receptor, insulin-like growth factor-II/Mannose-6-phosphate (IGF-II/M6P) receptor, and IGF-II; the cells were originally designated 2T
