Description
Background
WM1341D is a tumorigenic (VGP) primary melanoma cell line with competence for metastasis. These cells display epithelial square and triangular morphology in culture. This cell line features the specific V600R (Val600Arg) mutation at codon 600 in the BRAF gene. The V600R mutation results in an amino acid substitution at position 600 in BRAF, from a valine (V) to an arginine (R). This mutation occurs within the activation segment of the kinase domain. Mutations at V600 result in increased kinase activity and are transforming in vitro. WM1341D cells produce xenograft tumors when injected into immunocompromised mice.
Application Note
The key applications of these cell lines include genetic studies, xenograft production, drug testing, and drug target discovery. These cell line models can be used in various biological assays, and for identifying critical target genes, and cell signaling pathways.
Purity/Specificity
Cells are sterile, validated by short tandem repeat profiling, and are tested as negative for mycoplasma. It is recommended that cell lines are tested for mycoplasma contamination and short tandem repeat (STR) profiling every 10 passages or each time a frozen seed stock is made. See cell culture protocol for additional details.
No test method can provide total assurance that the hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus, or any other infectious agents are absent. Thus, all blood products, including purified proteins derived from human blood sources, should be handled at Biosafety Level 2 as recommended by the CDC\NIH manual entitled Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories for potentially infectious human serum, blood specimens or proteins derived from same. Source material for the human blood product supplied to your facility has been tested for the detection of HIV antibody, Hepatitis B surface antigen, antibody to Hepatitis C, HIV 1 antigen(s), antibody to HTLV - I/II, and syphilis by FDA guidelines. All units were found to be non-reactive/negative for these tests. All human blood source material is collected in FDA licensed centers and is tested with FDA approved test kits.; Cell Line Limited Use License Required.
