[Establishment and characterization of a human gall bladder carcinoma cell line NOZ].
A human gall bladder carcinoma cell line was established from ascites of a patient of peritonitis carcinomatosa. The pathological diagnosis of this patient was adenocarcinoma tubular ++, moderately differentiated. This cell line was composed of polygonal, spindle and round shaped cells. Each cell types were cloned by single cell cloning technique and each cloned cell secreted CEA or Ferritin or none of them. The doubling time of cell number was 48 hours, and plating efficiency was 14-19%. NOZ cell was transplantable to nude mouse. The morphological feature of transplanted tumor was similar to the original one.
