eGFP expression and luciferase activity in the eGFP/Firefly Luciferase OVCAR3 Cell Line
The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Background
The OVCAR3 cell line was isolated from a high-grade serous ovarian adenocarcinoma patient refractory to treatment with cisplatin. This cell line is highly tumorigenic and presents an abnormal karyotype. OVCAR3 cells are a suitable model of ovarian cancer for drug resistance studies and hormonal therapy. The presence of eGFP and luciferase allow for easy assay readouts, making this cell line a convenient choice.
Storage/Stability
Cells are shipped in dry ice and should immediately be thawed or stored in liquid nitrogen upon receipt. Do not use a -80°C freezer for long term storage. Contact technical support at [email protected] if the cells are not frozen in dry ice upon arrival.
