title: Established thyroid cell line of newborn pig (NPTh).
abstract: A newly established cell strain capable of continuous cultivation derived from newborn pig thyroid (NPTh), is discussed. The karyotype study revealed that the cell line has a heteroploid chromosome pattern, but the altered karyotype did not seem to be related to malignancy. It is suggested that the cells may be useful for investigations connected with the porcine viruses.
