Descripción

Cell Line Origin

Human ovarian serous carcinoma (ascites) stage IV, poorly differentiated

Cell Line Description

The OV56 cell line was established from ascitic fluid derived from a 46-year-old female patient diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The tumour was characterised as stage IV, poorly differentiated. Immunocytochemical staining of the cells was reported to show strong staining for cytokeratin (CK), weak staining for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and strong staining for human milk fat globulin (HMFG-2). Production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been detected by ELISA. The patient had received sequential treatment with cisplatin and cyclophosphamide, cisplatin and etoposide and subsequently tamoxifen.
