Cell Line Description

The cell line OE19, also known as JROECL19, was established in 1993 from an adenocarcinoma of gastric cardia/oesophageal gastric junction of a 72 year old male patient. The tumour was identified as pathological stage III (UICC) and showed moderate differentiation. The cell line OE19 expresses HLA-A, -B and -C antigens (MHC class I) constitutively. Treatment with interferon-gamma induced the expression of ICAM-1 (CD54). Expression of HLA-DR (MHC class II) on interferon-gamma addition was only measured in a sub-population of OE19. The cells express epithelial cytokeratins and are tumourigenic in nude mice.The Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line by short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis when tested at ECACC. It is a known phenomenon that due to the increased genetic instability of cancer cell lines the Y chromosome can be rearranged or lost resulting in lack of detection. The cell line is identical to the source provided by the depositor based on the STR-PCR analysis.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, 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.
