Abstract
A new human transitonal cell carcinoma cell line has been established in long term tissue culture. The BT-1 cells were derived from a poorly differentiated human bladder cancer. The tumor cell line produces tumors in nude mice. BT-1 has been characterized by cytogenetic and flow cytometric analysis and by isoenzyme typing. As in direct preparations of human bladder tumors, an isochromosome 5p is a consistent marker of the newly established line. The BT-1 cells produce transforming growth factors but do not respond to exogeneous EGF.Entities:
