Abstract
A continuous human cell line, COLO 357, with exceptional characteristics was derived from a metastasis of a pancreatic adenocarcinoma. COLO 357 grew as an adhering monolayer with a cell doubling time of 21 h and grew with 10% clonal efficiency in soft agar. COLO 357 cells had numerous lamellar inclusions. The cells elaborated the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, elastase and chymotrypsin. COLO 357 also secreted appreciable amounts of carcinoembryonic antigen and human chorionic gonadotropin. COLO 357 had a chromosome mode of 53 with 20 identifiable Giemsa‐banded marker chromosomes. Nine nucleolar organizing regions were found by silver‐stained metaphase preparations. COLO 357 has been “fingerprinted” for seven allelic isozymes. This cell line has been maintained in active culture for over 2 years, is preserved in a cell bank, and is available to other investigators.

## Abstract In order to define antigens that might be suitable as vaccines for pancreatic carcinoma, we investigated the composite expression of 10 cancer testis (CT) antigens (SCP‐1, NY‐ESO‐1, SSX‐1, SSX‐2, SSX‐4, GAGE, MAGE‐3, MAGE‐4, CT‐7 and CT‐8) by Reverse Transcriptase‐PCR (RT‐PCR) in fresh
The adhesive behaviour of a series of human melanoma cell lines, of varying metastatic potential, to basement membrane and stromal components was investigated in vitro. Experimental metastatic propensity was assessed from the number of pulmonary nodules formed after i.v. injection of cells into BALB
The interaction of tumor cells with extracellular-matrix components is suspected to play an important role in tumorigenesis induction. The tumorigenicity of a poorly tumorigenic human colon-adenocarcinoma cell line (BCS-TC2) was induced by co-injection with Matrigel. A new cell sub-line, BCS-TC2. I,
