[Karyotypic analysis of human cell lines (CaVe and HeLa) by the method of differential staining of chromosomes]. / Analiz kariotipa nekotorykh linii kletok cheloveka s pomoshch'iu differentsial'noi okraski khromosom linii CaVe i HeLa

Karyological analysis of CaVe (human stomach cancer) and HeLa cell lines was carried out by means of differential Giemsa staining. In the CaVe cells 12 marker chromosomes were revealed, seven of them similar to those found in our HeLa cell strain. Four markers in our HeLa subline and seven in CaVe cells were similar to those of HeLa sublines described in literature. The authors have arrived at the conclusion that the CaVe line isolated in 1961 was contaminated and now represents a variant of HeLa cell line.
