Culture Characteristics of Four Permanent Lines of Human Cancer Cells^*

( Virus Study Section, Division of Experimental Pathology, Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, Memorial Center, New York 21, N.Y.)

The cultural and morphological characteristics of three strains of human epidermoid cancer cells (H.Ep. #1, H.Ep. #2, and H.Ep. #3) and one human embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (H.Emb.Rh. #1) have been described. These tumors have been passed serially for periods of 8 months to 2 years and have maintained their original histological characteristics. One other tumor (H.S. #1), not yet permanently established in passage, has also been described. The pH range and sensitivity of the tumor to heat and ultraviolet have been recorded.
