BE(2)-C is a clonal sub-line of SK-N-BE(2) (ECCAC No. 95011815) which was isolated from bone marrow of a 22-month-old male with disseminated neuroblastoma in 1972. They are reported to be multipotential with regard to neuronal enzyme expression and display a high capacity to convert tyrosine to dopamine. The cells show a small, refractile morphology with short, neurite-like cell processes and tend to grow in aggregates.
