Biochem/physiol Actions

Human ovarian cancer, stage III
The OV7 cell line was established from solid ovarian tumour tissue taken from a 78-year-old female patient. The tumour was characterised as stage III, mixed tumour type and poorly differentiated. Immunocytochemical staining of the cells was reported to show strong staining for cytokeratin (CK), no staining for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and strong staining for human milk fat globulin (HMFG-2). Detection of mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors flt and KDR has been reported. The patient had received treatment with chlorambucil.
