We have characterized 4 human squamous carcinoma cell lines established from the larynx and hypopharynx area. All the cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium. During the growth they showed monolayer adherence pattern in culture flask. They showed tonofilament on transmission electromicroscopy which is characteristic of squamous cell epithelium. DNA finger-printing using Hinf-l proved them to be originated from different beings. Flow cytometric analysis revealed them to show aneuploidy. Immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin was done using CK1, CK8.13, CK19 and CAM5.2 antibody, and produced various patterns of positivity. All the cell lines showed varying degrees of tumorigenecity in athymic nude mice when injected subcutaneously, but only heterotransplanted SNU-1041 cell line showed continuous tumor growth. Histopathologic findings of the heterotransplanted tumors were identical to those of the original tumors of patients. This study suggests that establishment of many different squamous cell lines might bestow great capability in researches of the head and neck cancer.

The genome-wide program of gene expression during the cell division cycle response to serum free media in chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cells was characterized using cDNA microarrays. Many transcripts of genes showed variation during the cell cycle. Characterization is critical step toward understanding the basic cell cycle processes and serum-free media role in CHO cells

Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus sp #39, isolated from raw-milk showed reduced susceptibility to vancomycin. The minimun inhibitory concentration for strain #39 was at 8$\mu\textrm{g}$ of vancomycin per ml. Transmitting electron microscopy displayed that this strain had a 2.5-3.5 times thicker cell wall than a vancomucin sensitive strain of Staphylococcus sp. The strain #39 also had an increased cell volume. These data indicate that the reduced susceptibility may be due to the thickness of the cell wall of the test strain.
