A new in vitro cell system, Line human endometrial cancer-one (HEC-1), derived from
adenocarcinoma of human endometrium has been established and has successfully proved
stable proliferation in continuous tissue culture since May, 1968. The cytologic findings of
HEC-1 reveal such anaplastic features as anisonucleosis, nucleolar pleomorphism, and
piling-up tendency in cellular arrangement. Distribution of the chromosome number is found
at the diploid range, and the apparent marker chromosome has been identified without …
