| Cell line: | CAL-39 |
| DSMZ no.: | ACC 187 |
| Species: | human (Homo sapiens) |
| Cell type: | vulva squamous cell carcinoma |
| Origin: | established from the primary lesion resected from a 76-year-old woman with bulky, moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva in 1984; cells were reported to express an elevated number of high affinity EGF receptors, to carry gene amplification at 11q13 and to be tumorigenic in nude mice |
