title: [Establishment of a human cancer cell line from adenoid cystic carcinoma of the minor salivary gland].
abstract: This paper reports the establishment of a human cancer cell line from adenoid cystic carcinoma of the minor salivary gland and the study of its biological behaviours. The cells of the cell line (SACC-83) are polygonal in shape, with a mosaic arrangement. Ultrastructural study reveals that many secretory granules are present in the cytoplasm. The mitosis index, growth curve, chromosome analysis and transplantation into nude mice were performed and discussed. The results prove that this cell line possesses the morphological and biological features of adenoid cystic carcinoma.
