OE33 cells

Established from the adenocarcinoma of the lower oesophagus (Barrett's metaplasia), equivalent to JROECL33

Species:

Homo sapiens

Tissue:

Esophagus

Morphology:

Epithelial

Properties:

Adherent

Cytogenic data:

Express HLA-A, -B and -C antigens (MHC class I) and ICAM-1 constitutively. Expression of HLA-DR (MHC class II) can be induced by treatment with interferon-gamma. The cells express epithelial cytokeratins and are tumourigenic in nude mice
