Description
DMS 92 was obtained from a bone marrow aspirate of an untreated 39 year old male at time of diagnosis. The isolated cells were identified as small cell carcinoma of the lung. DMS 92 cells secrete adrenocorticotropin, bombesin, oxytocin-neurophysin and 17 beta-estradiol. Cells produce tumours in athymic nude mice. The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat-PCR analysis when tested at Glow Biologics. It cell line is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.
