Product description: Ovarian cancer is a significant cause of death in women worldwide with the majority of ovarian cancers forming in women under the age of 65. Due to late stage diagnosis and a lack of reliable screening tests, survival rates after 5 years are below 50% in developing counties. Ovarian cancer can spread to tissues in close proximity to the ovaries, including the lining of the abdomen, lungs, lymph nodes and liver. Ovarian cancer has a number of histological subtypes and ovarian clear cell carcinomas generally respond poorly to chemotherapy. NUCOLL43 was established from ascitic fluid from a female 57 year old white British patient without artifical immortalisation. Cells display a complete loss of TP53 expression and function despite having no loss of chromosome 17p and show highly similar pan-genomic similarity to the original patient tumor. Like the original tumor, the cells also expressed epithelial and mesenchymal characteristics. NUCOLL43 cells poses a very high degree of loss of heterozygosity which affected 85% of the genome.NUCOLL43 cells are resistant to cisplatin and rucaparib, but sensitive to paclitaxel, camptothecin and NVP-BEZ 235.
