WM983BBR Purified Genomic DNA

Genomic DNA was purified from cells using genomic DNA preparaton kit according to manufacturers instruction. DNA was diluted to 200 ng/µL in TE buffer (0.01 M Tris Chloride, 0.001 M EDTA, pH 7.6). Concentration was determined at A260 using nanodrop ND-1000. DNA was prepared from cell line WM983BBR. WM983BBR is a human metastatic melanoma cell line that displays a mesenchymal morphology. The WM983BBR cell line contains the BRAF V600E mutation that causes increased signaling via the extracellular signal-regulated MAPK/ERK kinase pathways to enhance proliferation.  WM983BBR is wild type for PTEN, N-ras, c-KIT, and CDK4. This cell line was derived from the same pateint as the cell lines WM983A, WM983B, and WM983C. The WM983BBR cells produce xenograft tumors when injected into immunocompromised mice.
