HL-60 Cell

Medical Condition:
HL-60 Cell

A promyelocytic cell line derived from a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia. HL-60 cells lack specific markers for lymphoid cells but express surface receptors for Fc fragment and complement. They also exhibit phagocytic activity and responsiveness to chemotactic stimuli. (From Hay et al., American Type Culture Collection, 7th ed, pp127-8)
