Summary
The morphological, chromosomal, and biological characteristics of a cell line derived from a human chondrosarcoma have been described. At the time of this report, the cell line has undergone 102 passages and continues to exhibit an epithelioid appearance, a modal number of 69 chromosomes, and has retained malignant properties. This cell line is easily cultivated in vitro or in vivo and may prove useful in human cancer research.
