Human oral squamous cell carcinoma

Cell Line Description

The cell line PE/CA-PJ15 was established from tongue tissue of a 45 year old male patient with oral squamous cell carcinoma. The cells have been shown to have epithelial differentiated characteristics expressing laminin and cytokeratins. Involucrin has been detected in some cells and cell groups.

Application

Study of squamous cell carcinoma

Culture Medium

IDMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
