Capan-2 Cell line

Capan-2 is a human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell line. These cells grow in adherent tissue culture and display epithelial morphology. They form well-differentiated tumours when injected into immunocompromised mice and are used as a xenograft model for pancreatic cancer. The Capan-2 cells express mutant K-Ras (G12V) and elevated levels of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor […]

Product description: Capan-2 is a human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell line. These cells grow in adherent tissue culture and display epithelial morphology. They form well-differentiated tumours when injected into immunocompromised mice and are used as a xenograft model for pancreatic cancer. The Capan-2 cells express mutant K-Ras (G12V) and elevated levels of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR). In addition, they express wildtype p53 and normal levels of SMAD4 protein.
