Characterization of two human cell lines (TK-10, TK-164) of renal cell cancer.
Two previously unreported cell lines of human renal cell carcinoma are presented. TK-10 and TK-164 have each been in culture for over 4 years. The epithelial nature of both cell lines has been documented by light and electron microscopy. The cells in each line contain a Y chromosome, have specific marker chromosomes, and a distinct flow cytometric histogram. Both lines grow in agar, albeit not in athymic mice.
