| Remarks |
The donor has had a gradual progressive decline in concentration and memory for 2 years. Neuro exam revealed impairment of recent memory, speech perseveration, dyscalculia, reduced digit span, poor insight, motor apraxia, and a snout reflex. CSF exam and CT scan were normal. EEG revealed diffuse slowing with low voltage background activity. Culture was initiated on 05/24/84 by transformation of lymphocytes with Epstein Barr virus. The cells grow in suspension and their morphology is spherical. The karyotype is 46,XX; normal diploid female. A skin fibroblast culture from same donor is AG07637A. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
