Remarks |
The donor has a history of insidious onset memory impairment which began at age 41. He now requires complete custodial care. Neurological exam revealed disorientation and severely compromised intellectual function attended by regressive reflexes. His EEG was characterized by irregular slowing. CT scan revealed cortical atrophy. The culture was initiated on 12/10/85 by transformation of lymphocytes with Epstein Barr virus. The cells grow in suspension and their morphology is spherical. The karyotype is 46,XY; normal diploid male. A skin fibroblast culture from same donor is AG08597. The legacy karyotype description shown in this Remark may not be representative of the current available product. |
