Epidermoid Carcinoma Cells A431 Transfection Kit

Description

Epidermoid carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma, is one of the most prevalent types of skin cancer that occurs anywhere in the body. It can be triggered by ultraviolet radiation, and new treatments for advanced disease are urgently needed clinically. More than thirty cancer cell lines have been used in epidermoid and squamous cell carcinoma research, including A-431. The A-431 cell line was established from the epidermis (skin) of an 85-year-old female patient with epidermoid carcinoma. These cells exhibit an epithelial morphology and are tumorigenic. In order to facilitate in-depth research, a specific and efficient cell transfection system is essential. To this end, CD BioSciences has developed a specific transfection kit for the A431 cell line.
