Establishment of xenografts or cell culture lines in which the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) characteristic of clinical hepatoblastoma persists have been difficult. The serially transplantable strain (HB-3) of highly AFP-producing hepatoblastoma was successfully established in nude mice. And a highly AFP producing cell line (c-HB-3) is easily obtained by HB-3. This strain and line give us an ideal experimental model of hepatoblastoma in vivo and in vitro.
