PA-1 Cells

The line was established from cells taken from ascitic fluid. The cells form tightly knit colonies, and differentiate to form embryoid bodies when cultured in low serum concentration, or at low plating densities or when treated with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine. The embryonic antigen PCC4 is expressed, but F9 is not detectable. Reproductive system cancer cell lines, Ovary, Ovarian mixed germ cell tumor, Growth Conditions: Adherent, Biosafety level: BSL 1
