Beschreibung

General description

Melanoma is considered the most dangerous form of skin cancer. It develops in melanocytes, the pigment producing cells of the skin. Melanoma accounts for a very small number of all skin cancers. Even though it accounts for only about 1% of total diagnosed

SK-MEL-147 is a human metastatic melanoma cell line. It retains a Q61R NRAS point mutation which is associated with a more aggressive phenotype, higher metastasis risk, and poorer prognosis.

Application

• Each vial contains >1X10⁶ viable cells.
• SK-MEL-147 cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for mouse, rat, Chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate interspecies contamination, as assessed by a Contamination Clear panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services
• Cells tested negative for infectious diseases against a Contamination Clear panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
• Cells tested negative for mycoplasma.

Features and Benefits

The SK-MEL-147 cell line expresses PMEL and MelanA proteins, two common melanoma markers. PMEL has been implicated in poor immune cell infiltration, and may be a relevant target for drug therapy due to its limited expression in normal cell phenotypes.

Preparation Note

SK-MEL-147 cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen until use. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting cell marker expression and functionality.
