Abstract The cell lines E7 and G9B4 were obtained after cloning of the permanent cell line LSCC-SF-Mc29, established from a transplantable chicken hepatoma induced by the myelocytomatosis virus Mc29. It was found that these cells differ from each other in morphology, karyotype, in vitro and in vivo growth properties. The results obtained revealed some causal relationship between alterations in chromosomal number, on one hand, and the tumorigenicity of the cells on the other. The correlation was - the higher percentage of the threeploidy, the lower tumorigenicity of the cells. Our data suggest that these cell lines could be considered as a model for tumor heterogeneity investigations and could be useful in the attempts to get a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in (virus-induced) cancerogenesis.
