Title Establishment and characterization of a radiation-sensitive squamous cell carcinoma -- SKX -- cell line in vitro.
Citation Exp. Strahlenther. Klin. Strahlenbiol. 9:11-13(2000)
Abstract Squamous cell carcinomas of various locations are among the most commonly treated radiotherapy tumors. In general these tumors are only intermediately radiosensitive. The concern of the present work consisted in the establishment of an in vitro human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line from an in vivo xenograft tumor established in 1991 in nude mice with a unusually high radiation sensitivity. The cell line cellular characteristics were studied such as its stability, growth, colony formation, DNA ploidy, p53 status, microsatellite analysis, as well as tumorigenicity in nude mice and radiation sensitivity.
Cell lines CVCL_VP43; SKX
