OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between characteristics of transformed cell and tumorigenicity. METHODS: Documents about transformed cell and tumorigenicity were reviewed in detail. RESULTS: Normal biological characteristics and cell function could be maintained in non-tumorigenic transformed cell, but it was changed markedly in malignant transformed cell. CONCLUSION: Non-tumorigenic transformed cell can be served as a standard cell line to study the function and growth characteristics of normal cell.
