AC-1M81
ACC 456
Cell line:
AC-1M81
DSMZ no.:
ACC 456
Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
choriocarcinoma-trophoblast hybrid
Origin:
one of five phenotypically and cytogenetically distinct subclones of a hybrid (ACH1P, DSMZ ACC 481) formed by fusion of the JEG-3-derived HGPRT-defective mutant cell line AC1-1 with primary male trophoblast cells isolated from term human chorion laeve; described as possessing both, a distinct karyotype and a distinct expression pattern of tumor-related genes
Reference(s):

1
