| Derivation |
HCC1428 BL is a B lymphoblastoid cell line initiated by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from the same patient as the breast carcinoma cell line HCC1428. HCC1428 was derived from a female who harbored a homozygous deletion in the FHIT gene. The FHIT gene, which spans the FRA3B fragile site at chromosome 3p14.2, is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in breast and other cancers. |

HCC1428 BL is a B lymphoblastoid cell line initiated by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from the same patient as the breast carcinoma cell line HCC1428. HCC1428 was derived from a female who harbored a homozygous deletion in the FHIT gene. The FHIT gene, which spans the FRA3B fragile site at chromosome 3p14.2, is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in breast and other cancers. The homozygous deletion in the FHIT gene is retained in the lymphoblastoid line. There is a familial history of breast cancer (maternal grandmother). HCC1428, a metastatic breast adenocarcinoma cell line, is available as ATCC CRL-2327. |
