Abstract
A new human colon cancer cell line (020588) has been derived by means of a combined in vitro matrix-in vivo xenograft technique. The tumour cell line is carcino-embryonic antigen positive, displays a marker chromosome and proliferates in chemically-defined scrum-free culture medium. The chemosensitivity pattern for the tumour cell line was similar to that observed for the parent tumour cells. The novel method used to establish this continuous human tumour cell line may have several advantages over standard techniques.Keywords
