  Established from a tumour induced in an 8 month old female 234 sub-line 212 of a DBA mouse. Originally sub-cultured in DBA/2 mice it was adapted to suspension culture. The line has been extensively used in cytotoxicity assays. Develops massive tumours in nude mice after a latent period of 7-10 days.
