Description

Cell Line Origin

Human lung, mucoepidermoid carcinoma

Cell Line Description

Derived from a cervical node metastasis of a pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma from a 32 year old female. Cells retain mucoepidermoid characteristics in culture and support replication of Hepatitis B virus. Some of the cells contain numerous small mucin-containing granules and are L-DOPA decaroxylase negative. This cell line has been selected as a prototype for transfecting subgenome fragments into human cells for studying the role of HBV and its individual genes in the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis and liver cancer. The cells are mucicarmine positive and also stain positively for keratin and vimentin but negative for neurofilament triplet protein. Ethnicity: Black.

Application

NCI-H292 has been used to determine the ability of the cell line to support the replication of mumps virus.[1]
