				 Objective: Established cell lines are important materials helping a medical basic research. The reports listed in detail of the cell line derived from an ovarian clear cell carcinoma were only 14, so far. Owing to little information, the establishment of malignant tumor cell line with individual characteristics is especially significant to research this disorder. Therefore, this study was carried out to establish and characterize a new human cell line derived from ovarian clear cell carcinoma.
Methods: The cell line HCH-3 was established from a left ovarian tumor of a 41-year-old woman. Characters of the cell line investigated included morphology, chromosome analysis, heterotransplantation, tumor markers, chemosensitivity, and cancer genes.
Results: This cell line has been growing well for 206 months and subculture.. View More»
