Human Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Cells SW480 Transfection Kit

Description

SW480 cells are a type of human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells that were extracted from a tumor in a 50-year-old man back in 1977. They are commonly used in cancer research as a model for studying colorectal cancer due to their typical epithelial morphology and ability to be cultured as adherent monolayers under standard tissue culture conditions. These cells have a high proliferation rate and are widely used to study various aspects of cancer biology such as cell signaling pathways, tumor invasion and metastasis, drug resistance, and more. Researchers use SW480 cells to investigate the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of colorectal cancer and to test the effectiveness of new cancer therapies. The cells are also used in drug screening assays to identify potential anti-cancer drugs. Chemotherapeutic agents such as 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan, which are frequently used in treating colorectal cancer, have been shown to be effective against SW480 cells. CD BioSciences offers polymer-based transfection kits specifically designed for the SW480 cell line.
