| Cell Line Name: | T84 |
| Keywords: | Human colon carcinoma |
| Cell Line Description: | Derived from a lung metastasis of colon carcinoma in a 72 year old male. Tumour tissue was inoculated sub-cutaneously and serially transplanted in BALB/c nude mice and subsequently established in in vitro culture. The histological characteristics of the tumour were maintained throughout the transplantation procedure. They have receptors for a range of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters. The cells grow as monolayers, exhibit tight junctions and desmosomes between adjacent cells. |
| Species: | Human |
| Tissue: | Colon (lung metastasis)_ |
| Morphology: | Epithelial |
| Growth Mode: | Adherent |
| DNA Profile: |
STR-PCR Data: Amelogenin: X |
| Subculture Routine: | Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:2 - 1:4 i.e. seeding at 1-3 x 10,000 cells / cm² using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C. Cells grow slowly and may not form a complete monolayer, maintain at high density with a minimum of 25% confluency. |

The HPA Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by HPA Culture Collections are accurate, HPA Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and HPA Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.
Cultures supplied by HPA Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line. Please view the Terms & Conditions of Supply for more information.
