Cell Line Origin

Human Caucasian osteosarcoma

Cell Line Description

Isolated from transformed foci of human osteogenic sarcoma (HOS) cells which were induced by Kirsten murine sarcoma virus. They contain MSV genome but do not produce infectious virus. The transformed cells exhibit a high saturation density, a high plating efficiency in soft agar and produce tumours in nude mice.

Application

Assay of type-C leukaemia viruses.
