- Description: Epithelial ovarian cancer cell lines spontaneously derived from high-grade serious tumors of patient who was chemotherapy naive at time of sampling. Results show that the intronic TP53 mutation seems to also affect transcription since neither mRNA nor protein were detected in this cel lline
- Production details: Established using the Scrape method where tumor tissue was scraped into a 100mm plate with complete OSE medium and maintained for 40 days with medium replaced weekly.
- Additional notes: Patient 2978 was age 63 at diagnosis with BRCA hereditary status as negative. Patient was chemotherapy naive at sample collection. First line treatment involved surgery, Carboplatin, and taxol. There was no previous personal history of cancer nor prior oncologic treatment. The year of sampling was 2006.
Handling
- Growth medium: OSE medium contains 10% FBS, 0.5ug/mL amphotericin B and 50 ug/mL gentamicin
- Atmosphere: Low oxygen conditions of 7% O2 and 5% CO2
- Cultured in antibiotics: Amphotericin B and Gentamicin
