[Establishment of a malignant astrocytoma cell line TJ-8510 and its characterization]

A malignant astrocytoma cell line TJ-8510 derived from temporoparietal astrocytoma Grade III was established. At present, it has survived for more than 34 months passaging through 220 generations. According to its features in cell kinetics, cytogenetics, morphology, biochemistry and heterotransplantation, it was still identified as malignant astrocytoma. This cell line may be useful in further research on glioma.
