Abstract

A cell line, TCCSUP, derived from an undifferentiated, Grade IV transitional cell carcinoma is described. The karyotype showed an abnormal distribution of chromosomes, with no obvious modal number. Distinct marker chromosomes were observed in both early and late in vitro passages. These cells have been subcultured over 50 times during a 20-month period. TCCSUP differs in certain morphological and immunological features from other cell lines from transitional cell carcinomas.
