This is the complete description of the cell line that you selected. By clicking on a generic term (e.g., SPECIES) you will go to the corresponding index (e.g., index of species), while by clicking on a specific term (e.g., retinoblastoma) you will go to the list of corresponding cell lines (e.g., retionoblastoma cell lines).

EHEB (human, peripheral blood, leukemia, chronic, B cell)

SPECIES: human
TISSUE/ORGAN: peripheral blood
TUMOR: leukemia, chronic, B cell

DSMZ catalog code: ACC 67
Morphology: lymphoblastoid, round to polygonal, single or clustered cells in suspension
