Multiple myeloma is an incurable fatal neoplasm of plasma cells affecting mainly elderly people. There are many research laboratories in the world where multiple myeloma is studied. Permanent cell lines are indispensable tools for both basic and applied research. However, the establishment of new cell lines is difficult with poor success. We established 96 primary cultures of bone marrow samples from myeloma patients. Only one culture succeeded in permanet myeloma cell line. The novel plasmacytic cell line ÚHKT-893 was established from bone marrow sample of 57 years old female relapsed with multiple myeloma of IgGκ isotype. The cell line is however dependent on the continuous presence of interleukin-6 in culture media. ÚHKT-893 cells grow continuously already more than 1 year. The growth of cells was regularly monitored according to growth curves and by measurement of cell viability. Surface antigenic profile was repeatedly determined by flow cytometry. The simultaneous expression of both CD138 and CD38 surface molecules confirmed the plasma cell origin of cells. The establishment of the ÚHKT-893 myeloma cell line will extend the panel of existing myeloma cell lines as a new ex vivo model for the study of the etiology and pathogenesis of multiple myeloma. It will also provide the source of new...
