Authenticated Human Cancer Cell Line Panel
All cell lines are obtained from ATCC or equivalent recognized repositories and authenticated by STR profiling. Regular mycoplasma testing is performed to ensure culture integrity throughout experimental use.
Human Cancer Cell Lines in Active Use
MCF-7
ATCC HTB-22Breast Adenocarcinoma
Luminal A, ER+/PR+/HER2−
Estrogen receptor-positive, hormone-responsive breast cancer model. Widely used for evaluation of endocrine-targeting and antiproliferative agents. Expresses functional p53.
MDA-MB-231
ATCC HTB-26Breast Adenocarcinoma
Triple-Negative (TNBC)
Highly aggressive triple-negative breast cancer model lacking ER, PR, and HER2 expression. Representative of the most therapeutically challenging breast cancer subtype. KRAS and BRAF mutant.
HCT116
ATCC CCL-247Colorectal Carcinoma
Microsatellite Unstable (MSI-H)
Mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer model with high microsatellite instability. KRAS G13D mutant. Widely used for evaluation of DNA damage response and apoptosis-inducing agents.
SW480
ATCC CCL-228Colorectal Carcinoma
Chromosomally Unstable (CIN)
Chromosomally unstable colorectal cancer model derived from a primary tumor. KRAS G12V mutant. Complements HCT116 for evaluation across distinct colorectal mutational backgrounds.
A549
ATCC CCL-185Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Lung Adenocarcinoma
KRAS G12S-mutant lung adenocarcinoma model. Widely employed for evaluation of compounds targeting RAS-driven oncogenic signaling and for general NSCLC antiproliferative screening.
HL-60
ATCC CCL-240Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
AML-M3
Promyelocytic leukemia cell line responsive to differentiation-inducing agents. Classic model for evaluation of compounds inducing myeloid differentiation or apoptosis in hematologic malignancies.
K562
ATCC CCL-243Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
BCR-ABL+ CML Blast Crisis
BCR-ABL fusion-positive CML model in blast crisis. Relevant for evaluation of tyrosine kinase inhibitor activity and compounds targeting BCR-ABL-dependent signaling pathways.
Cell Line Authentication & Quality Control
All cell lines are obtained from ATCC or equivalent recognized repositories. Authentication by STR profiling is performed prior to experimental use. Regular mycoplasma testing is conducted throughout the experimental lifecycle to ensure culture integrity. Cell line passage numbers are tracked and maintained within validated ranges for each line.
