Tool Details

*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (for other uses, please contact the licensing team)

• Name: H314 Cell Line
• Alternate name: H-314; h314; SCC-HN; HNSCC; HN-SCC
• Research fields: Cancer
• Tissue: Oral Cavity
• Disease: Cancer
• Growth properties: Adherent
• Model: Tumourigenic cell line
• Conditional: Yes
• Description: Established from a squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the floor of the mouth (20mm-40mm) of an 82 year-old male patient. STNMP stage II, moderately differentiated, node positive tumour. Mutant p53, codon 176 exon 5, G to T and 373 exon 11, A to G; wild type K-, N- and Ha-ras. Tumourigenic in athymic nude mice on subcutaneous injection; on injection into the floor of the mouth, cells spread to lymphatics and lymph nodes. By short tandem repeat (STR)-PCR analysis the Y chromosome could not be detected in this cell line when tested at ECACC. It is a known phenomenon that SSC cell lines can lose their Y chromosome.
