OECM-1 Human Oral Squamous Carcinoma Cell Line

Description

• General description: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a common cancer type, developing in epithelial cells. Nearly all cancers of the oral cavity are squamous cell carcinomas, and the high recurrence rate among oral SCCs make these challenging targets for therapies. Established models of this cancer type continue to yield significant insights into the properties and potential treatments of head and neck cancers [1].
• Cell Line Description: Cancer Cells
• Application: OECM-1 human oral squamous carcinoma cell line is suitable for studies of cancer cell signaling, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metastasis, invasion, and cancer cell stemness.
• Quality: • Each vial contains ≥ 1X10⁶ viable cells.• Cells are tested negative for HPV-16, HPV-18, Hepatitis A, B, C, and HIV-1 & 2 viruses by PCR.• Cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for inter-species contamination from rat, mouse, chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate (NHP) as assessed by a Contamination CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.• Cells are negative for mycoplasma contamination.• Each lot of cells is genotyped by STR analysis to verify the unique identity of the cell line.
• Storage and Stability: OECM-1 human oral cavity squamous carcinoma cell line should be stored in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
