Abstract A rat hepatoma cell line (CBRH-7919) derived from the AFP positive hepatoma of Wistar rat induced by the treatment of DENA has been established in vitro. Cell suspension obtained by dispersing tumor tissue with trypsin was inoculated into small bottles and cultivated as stationary monolayer cultures, using medium RPMI-1640 supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum and the usual addition of antibiotics. This line of cells has been successfully maintained in continuous cultivation for more than 7 months (passed through 45 transfers). The cells are epithelial-like in morphology with definite malignant characteristics by light and electron microscopy. AFP was present in the cytoplasm as shown by unlabelled immunoperoxidase technique. The homotransplantability of this line of cells was high. Chromosome analysis showed a wide variation with a mode around 70-80.
