Product description: The KPC cell line is a transplantable murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma model on a C57BL/6 background, suitable for syngeneic studies in immunocompetent mice. Derived from the clinically relevant KPC model, it retains key KrasG12D and Trp53R172H driver mutations and supports controlled studies of pancreatic tumour biology, therapeutic response, tumour–immune interactions, invasion and metastasis. Its defined background and transplantable format make it useful for bridging in vitro perturbation studies with in vivo validation.
Alternate name: PDAC cell line
Gender: Male
Conditional: No
Production details: These cells are from the KPC mouse which has been backcrossed to F10 in C57/BL6. KPC Subtype: C57Bl6/J. Isolation of the cells: For each cell line, a 5mm diameter piece of tissue was harvested from solid PDAC arising in a C57BL/6 KPC mouse into DMEM. The tissue was chopped into a fine paste, resuspended in DMEM + L-Glut, Pen-Strep and 20% FBS, and plated out in a 25cm flask. The medium was changed after 2 days. Once confluent the cells were passaged as normal and grown in DMEM + L-Glut, Pen-Strep and 10% FBS in normoxic conditions at 37C in a humidified incubator
Disease: Cancer
Cat. #: 153474
