Description

Cell Line Origin

Human Caucasian rhabdoid tumour (formerly classified as Wilm′s tumour)

Cell Line Description

Derived from a tumour of a 3 month old male Caucasian. Highly transformed and grows in soft agar. Highly undifferentiated. G401 was originally described as a cell line derived from a Wilm?s tumour. Due to a change in the classification of such tumours, the cell line was examined by Garvin et al., 1993 and found to be more appropriately classified as derived from a rhabdoid tumour of the kidney.
