Gregory, P., P. Howard-Peebles, R. Ellender, AND B. Martin. ANALYSIS OF A MARINE FISH CELL LINE FROM A MALE SHEEPSHEAD. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/J-80/130.
Description:
Chromosomes from consecutive culture passages of a developing cell line from fin fibroblasts of a male sheepshead (Archosargus probatocephalus) were analyzed. It was demonstrated that the modal chromosome number is 48. The chromosome types found in these cells included 8 submetacentrics, 8-12 acrocentrics, and 28-32 telocentrics. Evidence suggests that the primary type of chromosomal alteration that occurred in cultured SHR-1 cells is aneuploidy; a large metacentric chromosome of undetermined origin was observed.
