Description
SKOV3 is a cell line that scientists commonly use to study ovarian cancer, which is a type of cancer that affects the ovaries. The cells were taken from the fluid surrounding an ovarian cancer patient's abdomen. These cells exhibit several of the same characteristics as ovarian cancer cells, including abnormal growth, resistance to programmed cell death, and the ability to invade nearby tissue. Researchers often use these cells as a model system to study how ovarian cancer develops and to test potential treatments to stop the growth and spread of cancer cells. The SK-OV-3 cell line was isolated in 1973 from the ovarian tissue of a 64-year-old Caucasian woman with adenocarcinoma. These cells are resistant to several cytotoxic drugs and are hypodiploid, making them a suitable host for ovarian cancer research. CD BioSciences offers transfection kits that are optimized for use with SK-OV-3 cells.
