Tool Details

  • Tool name: K562 AZQR Cell Line
  • Tool type: Cell Lines
  • Tool sub-type: Continuous
  • Parental cell line: K562
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Lymphatic Tissue
  • Cancer type: Blood cancer
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Growth properties: Suspension
  • Model: Tumour line
  • Conditional: No
  • Description: The cells have been shown to contain decreased levels of glutathione and superoxoid dismutase. They are cross-resistant to adriamycin, mitzolamide, MMNG and mitmycin. Cells should be challenged with AZQ at every 4th passage at a minimum density of 100,000 cells/ml. It is recommended to cultivate the cells without drug on resuscitation.
  • Research area: Cancer; Drug development
  • Production details: The drug resistant cell line K562 AZQ was developed from the parent K562 cell line by treatment with AZQ C215-bis (carboethoxyamino)-3, 6-diazitinyl 1;4 (benzoquinone).
  • Cellosaurus ID: CVCL_2967

  • For Research Use Only
