Characterization of newly established human osteosarcoma cell line, LM-1.
The characteristics of Cell Line LM-1, established from a human osteosarcoma, have been studied extensively. The cell produced both bone-specific and placental-like alkaline phosphatases when treated with hydrocortisone 21-phosphate; they had specific membrane antigens tht reacted with sera from osteosarcoma patients. Injection of LM-1 cells into newborn hamsters treated with antilymphocyte serum produced nodular tumors. The characteristics of LM-1 suggest that this tumor cell line has unique features that may be useful in a variety of studies of human and animal osteosarcoma.
