HT1080

HT1080 is a fibrosarcoma cell line which has been used extensively in biomedical research. The cell line was created from tissue taken in a biopsy of a fibrosarcoma present in a 35-year-old human male. The patient who supplied the sample had not undergone radio or chemotherapy, making it less likely that unwanted mutations were introduced into the cell line.
