Karyotype The stemline chromosome number is pseudodiploid with the 2S component occurring at 6.2%. Five markers (M2 through M6) were common to most S metaphases. DM's, which varied in numbers per cell, occurred in all metaphases karyotyped. HSR chromosomes were not detected.

Derivation
HL-60 is a promyelocytic cell line derived by S.J. Collins, et al. Peripheral blood leukocytes were obtained by leukopheresis from a 36-year-old Caucasian female with acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Clinical Data
36 years
Caucasian
female

Receptor Expression
complement, expressed
Fc, expressed
Oncogene myc +
Genes Expressed
tumor necrosis factor (TNF), also known as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha, TNF alpha), after stimulation with phorbol myristic acid,myc +
Tumorigenic Yes
Effects
Yes, in nude mice (subcutaneous myeloid tumors)
Yes, in semi-solid media
Comments
HL-60 cells spontaneously differentiate and differentiation can be stimulated by butyrate, hypoxanthine, phorbol myristic acid (PMA, TPA), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, 1% to 1.5%), actinomycin D, and retinoic acid.

The cells exhibit phagocytic activity and responsiveness to chemotactic stimuli.

The line is positive for myc oncogene expression.
Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2005. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 20%.
Subculturing
Cultures can be maintained by the addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 1 X 105 viable cells/mL. Do not allow cell concentration to exceed 1 X 106 cells/mL.
Interval: Maintain cell density between 1 x 105 and 1 x 106 viable cells/mL.
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37°C
