title: UM-SCP-1, a new human cell line derived from a prostatic squamous cell carcinoma.
abstract: A permanent cell line (UM-SCP-1) has been established from a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate. UM-SCP-1 has been passaged 40 times and has been in culture for 22 months. The doubling time of this aneuploid cell line is approximately 36 hr. In nude mice, UM-SCP-1 produces rapidly growing tumors with distinct histological features of squamous cell carcinoma. UM-SCP-1 cells express pemphigus and pemphigoid antigens and bind antibodies to beta 2 microglobulin and HLA-A,B,C common antigen. Cells of this line are unreactive with anti-A and anti-B blood group typing sera, autologous serum, and monoclonal anti-HLA-DR antibodies.
