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.
