Description

General description

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide, with the all-stage 5-year relative survival rate across the globe of only 30 40% (Reid 2017). High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSOC) accounts for 70% of all

Application

Each vial contains ≥ 1X10⁶ viable cells.Cells are tested negative for infectious diseases by a Human Essential CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.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.

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide, with the all-stage 5-year relative survival rate across the globe of only 30–40%.1 High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSOC) accounts for 70% of all ovarian cancers and is also one of the more lethal forms of ovarian cancer due to its rapid growth and early spread to other organs in the peritoneal cavity.2 Ovarian cancer cell lines have historically been the most frequently used tumor models to prescreen experimental anticancer agents in vitro and to select specific histologic subtypes of epithelial OC for further exploration of these agents. Xenograft models relying on implantation of established EOC cell lines have also been extensively used in ovarian cancer research and are important experimental platforms for preclinical drug development.3Source OVSAHO is a permanent human ovarian carcinoma cell line established from the abdominal metastasis of a serous papillary adenocarcinoma patient.4 In addition to being a reproducible in vitro HGSOC source, OVSAHO cells have been shown to be amenable to intraperitoneal and subcutaneous4 as well as orthotopic5 heterotransplantation in nude and even immune-competent mice. OVSAHO ranked second among 47 ovarian cancer cell lines listed in the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia and The Cancer Genome Atlas in having the highest genetic similarity to ovarian tumors.6 References1.

Features and Benefits

OVSAHO is a permanent human ovarian carcinoma cell line established from the abdominal metastasis of a serous papillary adenocarcinoma patient

Storage and Stability

Store 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.
