The cell line has some characteristics of basophilic leukocytes (Fc receptors, basophilic granules, histamine production), and are negative for lymphoid markers [PubMed: 3858609].
The parent KU812 cell line was established from the peripheral blood of a patient in blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia. |
