title: Establishment of a human T-lymphoma cell line (H-TL90) and analysis of its biological characteristics.
abstract: We established a human T-lymphoma cell line from the cancerous ascites of a male patient with prostate cancer which was named H-TL90. This cell line was characterized by its histological features, and by chromosomal and immunological analysis. Immunophenotypic analysis revealed that the cells expressed surface antigen CD-3CD-4CD+7CD-8. Biological analysis revealed that the cell can promote lymphocyte proliferation. This suggested that the cell line has an autosecretion function. Cytogenetic analysis revealed that H-TL90 was a hyperdiploid with 47 chromosomes and had characteristic translocation between chromosome 3 and 11, and the deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6. These results demonstrated the H-TL90 cell line can be a useful model for the study of human T-lymphoma.
