A cell line was obtained from a primary culture of a pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland in a 24-year-old woman. The cells of the line (PA 16/23) grew spontaneously in minimal culture conditions and showed stable morphologic characteristics over 30 passages. PA 16/23 cells had immunophenotyp...
