Breast Carcinoma Cell Line

Description A near triploid cell line exhibiting a pattern of 'loss-with-reduplication' evolution. It is held by the ATCC and was obtained from Dr Mike O'Hare.
   
Notable Features Translocations involve all chromosomes, except 7 and 11. Several marker chromosomes have been duplicated. Isochromosomes are present for 8 and 13. One alternate clone is missing 1 marker, but has a unique duplicated deletion. A larger clone has duplicated all its chromosomes, but lost 2 markers, chromsomes 19 and X and isochromsome 13. It has however acquired a new translocation and a new deletion.
