Background InformationUM-SCC-17A is a unique head and neck squamous carcinoma cell line isolated from the primary laryngeal carcinoma of a 48-year old female patient who failed to respond to radiation therapy. The tumor persisted and metastasized to the neck, from where the UM-SCC-17B cell line was derived from. The patient achieved long-term remission after surgery (1, 2). UM-SCC-17A is negative for HPV-16, HPV-18, Hepatitis A, B, C, HIV-1 & 2 viruses and grows as tightly packed colonies or islands.

UM-SCC-17A was established at the University of Michigan with written informed consent obtained from the patient and with the approval of the study by the Medical School Institutional Review Board.
