Breast Carcinoma Cell Line

Description A highly rearranged, near triploid cell line, held at the ATCC - obtained from Dr Mike O'Hare.
   
Notable Features Translocations involve all chromosomes, except 4. Several markers are very complex, having undergone multiple rearrangements. Deletions were detected on chromosomes 3 and 13.
