Cell Line Origin
Human Caucasian bone marrow myelogenous leukaemia
Cell Line Description
Derived from the bone marrow aspirate of a 59 year old male Caucasian with erythroleukemia that became acute myelogenous leukaemia. The cells form colonies in soft-agar in the presence of colony stimulating factor (CSF). KG-1 cells resemble acute myelogenous leukaemia showing considerable pleomorphism with a predominance of myeloblasts and promyelocytes. A small percentage of the cells are mature granulocytes with the occasional presence of macrophages and eosinophils. They do not express surface Ig or EBV antigens and lack specific markers for lymphocytic cells.
Application
KG-1 has been used to extract total RNA and use them as templates to determine the 5′ end of promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) transcripts.
