Disease | colorectal carcinoma |
Age | 72 years |
Gender | male |
Applications |
The T84 cell line is a transplantable human carcinoma cell line. It is also a suitable transfection host.

Karyotype | The stemline modal chromosome number is 56, occurring at 28% with polyploidy at 12.4%. Eighteen markers are common to most metaphases examined. Normal X and chromosome 13 were absent; chromosomes 2, 4 and 22 were single-copied, and chromosome 12 was 4-copied. No Y chromosome was detected by Q band observation. DM occurred in nearly 50% of the cells. |

Derivation |
The T84 cell line is a transplantable human carcinoma cell line derived from a lung metastasis of a colon carcinoma in a 72-year-old male. Tumor tissue was inoculated subcutaneously and serially transplanted in BALB/c nude mice.

Effects |

(Tumors developed within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5) in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 10(7) cells)
|
Comments |
The original histological characteristics of the colon carcinoma were maintained throughout transplantation in nude mice. After 23 passages in athymic mice, the T84 cell line was established. These cells grow to confluence as monolayers and exhibit tight junctions and desmosomes between adjacent cells. They have receptors for many peptide hormones and neurotransmitters and maintain vectorial electrolyte transport. This line exhibits tight junctions, and desmosomes between adjacent cells. The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining. |
