WM983A Non-Viable Cell Pellet

Bulk, (on demand), cells will be grown to requested amount. Cells will be grown sub-confluent in Tumor specialized media, trypsinized, flash frozen, and stored at -80°C. Non-viable cell pellet was generated from cell line WM983A. WM983A is a VGP human malignant metastatic melanoma cell line that features the V600E (Val600Glu) mutation at codon 600 in the BRAF gene. This mutation causes constitutively active kinase activity and activation of MEK and ERK signaling pathway. This cell line is wild type for PTEN, N-RAS, c-KIT, and CDK4. This cell line was derived from the same patient as the cell lines WM983B, WM983B BR and WM983C.WM983A cells produce xenograft tumors when injected into immunocompromised mice.
