Popular cell lines now available only from CancerTools.org

CancerTools.org cell lines now solely available from CancerTools.org.

CancerTools.org offers a large range of new and well-established cancer cell lines manufactured to high quality standards in our new state of the art laboratory facility. These authenticated cell lines cover key research areas including ovarian, colorectal, bladder and breast cancer fields. They have received extensive peer-review, with numerous publications from leading cancer researchers worldwide.

We would like to thank ECACC for their support producing and supplying these important resources on behalf of  CancerTools.org for the last 15 years.

Our collection of popular cell lines available from CancerTools.org includes cornerstones for diverse cancer types such as

Bladder cancer, featuring the popular human urothelial UM-UC series, which includes lines able to induce tumours in immunodeficient mice, e.g. UM-UC-14, UM-UC-6 and UM-UC-9 cell lines, with different karyotypes and susceptibility to adenoviral-mediated gene transduction.

A2780 Cell Line. 48 hours post plating. Image courtesy of the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC), UK

Ovarian cancer, comprising the A2780 line widely used in toxicity testing and cancer genetic studies, and its isogenic drug-resistant derivatives. Our collection also includes PEO4, part of the nine PE ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line panel derived from patients at varying stages of ovarian cancer and treatments.

TR146 Cell Line. 3 days post plating. Image courtesy of the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC), UK

Head and neck cancer, including patient-derived squamous cell carcinoma lines, such as the popular buccal mucosa TR146 line used to study permeability, absorption and metabolism of drugs, and BICR 22, part of the wider BICR suite of lines isolated from the oral cavity and the larynx of head and neck cancer patients.

MCF7/TAMR-7 Cell Line. Mid log phase. Image courtesy of the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC), UK

Breast cancer, encompassing lines resistant to various chemotherapy drugs, including anti-oestrogens such as tamoxifen, e.g. MCF7/TAMR-7, and aromatase inhibitors.

C106 Colorectal Cell Line. 3 days post plating. Image courtesy of the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC), UK

Colorectal cancer, including lines established from adenocarcinomas of the colon and the rectum at different clinical stages, such as C10 and C106 cell lines.
