Bpl. Wijnhoven et al., Human oesophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines JROECL 47 and JROECL 50 are admixtures of the human colon carcinoma cell line HCT 116, BR J CANC, 82(9), 2000, pp. 1510-1512
In two recently described human oesophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines JROEC
L 47 and JROECL 50, derived from one tumour, we detected identical E-cadher
in and beta-catenin gene mutations as in colon carcinoma cell line HCT 116.
We demonstrate by HLA-typing, mutation analysis and microsatellite analysi
s that cell fines JROECL 47 and JROECL 50 are admixtures of the human colon
adenocarcinoma cell line HCT 116. (C) 2000 Cancer Research Campaign.
