Abstract A new cell-line (HCSC-1) was established from the ascites of the patient with small cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The results were follows. 1) From the growth curve of HCSC-1 population doubling time was 24.3 hours (4th culture) and plating efliciency was 1.9%. 2) Under phase- contrast microscope, cancer cells were observed to grow as colony like cell aggregates and to attach each other with piling up. B) From the view of the Pap. stain, small cells with markedly increasing N/C ratio aggregated each other. The nuclear chromatin was coarsely granular but the nuclear rim was not so thick. The nucleoli were relatively prominent and they had a tendency to multiplicity, 4) A fairly large number of cells showed argyrophilia by the Grimelius stain, and neurosecretory granules in cytoplasm were observed on electron microscopic study. 5) The secretion of NSE and CEA in culture media chronologically increased, and was enhanced by low concentration (0.1 mM) of dibutyryl cyclic AMP. 6) The tumor of the nude mice after transplantation showed small cell carcinoma like the original cancer. 7) The peak of the chromosome number was at hyper-diploid range and modal number was 52. 8) This rare cell- line established was shown as a useful experimental model in vitro.
