Description

Cell Line Origin

Human Ewing sarcoma

Cell Line Description

Derived from a 15 year old female patient. The cells form colonies on soft agar and tumours in antithymocyte serum treated mice.

The cell line A673 was originally described in 1973 as derived from a rhabdomyosarcoma, however, more recent analysis of the cells using advanced diagnostic techniques determined the cells to have characteristics of Ewing sarcoma rather than rhabdomyosarcoma.
