## Abstract A cell line consisting of polygonal and fusiform cells was derived from a cerebellar medulloblastoma. Cells grew to high population density in liquid medium and formed colonies in agar medium. No neural or glial elements could be demonstrated in the cultured cells by electron microscopy

β¦ Synopsis
A human T lymphoid cell line was established by cell hybridization technique from peripheral blood leucocytes of a patient with Sezary syndrome. The cells beared the surface antigens of human T lymphocyte specificity as demonstrated by immune cytolysis tests, but did not form E rosettes with sheep red blood cells. Isozyme patterns of enzymes in this line such as lactate dehydrogenase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and esterase were of human type. The line had 79 chromosomes in modal number. This case supports the proposal that the production of tetraploids is favourable for establishment of cell lines.

## Abstract Two lymphoid cell lines were established from a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia by infecting blood cells with EpsteinβBarr virus (EBV). Studies of morphology, glucoseβ6βphosphate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme, immunoglobulin, and chromosomes of the two lines indicated that one o
The establishment of IL-2-independent T-cell lines spontaneously derived from long-term IL-2-dependent cytotoxic T-cell lines is described. Two lines (cloned and uncloned) studied in detail have shown the following characteristics: (1) Permanent loss of IL-2 dependence. (2) Partial or complete loss
A cell line (ISO-HAS) has been established from tumor tissue of a human hemangiosarcoma arising on the scalp by the use of conditioned medium from a murine-phenotypic angiosarcoma cell line (ISOS-1). Cells have been cultured for more than 2 years with up to 100 passages. The cells retained endotheli
A continuous human cell line RN-GA was established from a stage-Ill primary neuroblastoma prior to therapy. Light and electron microscopic analysis of the biopsy showed morphological features typical of neuroectodermal origin. Relative cellular DNA content and N-myc oncogene copy number were also an
