Established in 1976 from the peripheral blood of a 75-year-old man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at diagnosis

The MIA PaCa-2 cell line was established by A. Yunis, et al. in 1975 from tumor tissue of the pancreas obtained from a 65-year-old Caucasian male.

The cells have lost their differentiation potential, and are currently arrested at a premeiotic stage.

When deprived of serum or when crowded, the cells enter a viable G1 arrested state. The cells are anchorage independent.

Established from the thyroid gland (right lobe) of a 70-year-old woman with thyroid anaplastic carcinoma in 1988; described as being tumorigenic in heterotransplanted nude mice
