CELL LINES

Contributor Information
- Name Lawrence Pfeffer
- Institute The University of Tennessee Health Science Center
Tool Details
- Tool name: STAT2-Defective Mutant Daudi (RST2) cell line
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Tool sub-type: Continuous
- Parental cell line: Human Daudi Burkitt Lymphoma cell line
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Blood
- Cancer type: Blood cancer
- Disease: Cancer
- Model: Transgenic
- Description: This cell line can be used to study drug resistance developed after treatment with interferon. Interferon therapy has been proved as a successful treatment for various types of cancer, however it develops resistance in patients. This cell line was not affected by the antiviral, antiproliferative, and gene-inducing actions of IFN.
- Research area: Cancer
- Production details: Isolated from IFN-sensitive Daudi cell line by growth in the continuous presence of IFN
- For Research Use Only
