SK-N-MC (human, Caucasian, neuroblastoma)


SPECIES: human, Caucasian
TUMOR: neuroblastoma

DSMZ catalog code: ACC 203
Morphology: adherent, fibroblast-like cells growing as monolayers
Description: human neuroblastoma established from the supraorbital metastasis of a neuroblastoma of a 14-year-old girl in 1971 (see ATCC HTB 10); although described in the original paper as neuroblastoma, SK-N-MC is now widely regarded as having originated from the morphologically similar Askin's tumor related to Ewing's sarcoma; FLI1-EWS gene fusion, the molecular pathological change in Ewing's sarcoma and Askin's tumor, was shown in SK-N-MC by Dunn et al. (Cancer Genet. Cytogenet. 76: 19-22, 1994) confirmed as human with IEF of AST, MDH
Viruses: ELISA: reverse transcriptase negative; PCR: EBV-, HBV-, HCV-, HHV-8-, HIV-, HTLV-I/II-
Depositor: Dr. H. G. Drexler, DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany
