WM983B 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 WM983B. WM983B is a human metastatic melanoma cell line that was established from an inguinal node metastatic site in a 54-year-old male patient. The subject displayed malignant melanoma of polypoid type, level IV with a tumor thickness of 2.5 cm. MW983B line contains the BRAF V600E mutation that causes increased signaling via the extracellular signal-regulated MAPK/ERK kinase pathways to enhance proliferation. WM983B is wild type for PTEN, N-ras, c-KIT, and CDK4. This cell line was derived from the same patient as the cell lines WM983A, WM983B BR, and WM983C. WM983B cells produce xenograft tumors when injected into immunocompromised mice.
