CELL LINES
Contributor Information
- Name Carmel McConville

Tool Details
- Tool name: BCH-N-MS Neuroblastoma cell line
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Tool sub-type: Primary
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Abdomen
- Gender: Male
- Cancer type: Neuroblastoma
- Disease: Cancer
- Growth properties: Cell lines may contain both neuronal and stromal/substrate adherent (N & S) cell types - this is a recognized characteristic of many neuroblastoma cell lines
- Model: MYCN gene amplification present in sample
- Application: Neuroblastoma cells have been used for the following: - Investigation of metabolic profiles generated by in vitro H MRS - Characterisation of genetic pathways - Discovery of epigenetically deregulated genes during neuroblastoma tumorigenesis, using genome wide DNA methylation analysis - Functional investigation of MEGF10 knockdown
- Description: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid malignancy in children. The disease possesses a broad range of clinical phenotypes with widely varying prognoses. Standard clinical and pathological assessments do not always differentiate reliably between tumor subtypes and, therefore, genetic markers are now playing an increasingly important role in treatment decisions.
- Research area: Cancer
- Cellosaurus ID: TBC
- Additional notes: Karyotype data available on request STR data available on request
- For Research Use Only
