General description

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and malignant primary brain tumor, with a high recurrence rate and a five-year survival rate of less than 5% (1). Nearly 50% of glioblastomas originate in the frontal or temporal lobes of the brain (1). Glioblastomas are the most aggressive form of cancer, highlighting the importance of relevant human patient-derived cell models for advancing research into characteristics and treatment of this disease. SF126 is a patient-derived glioblastoma cell line originating from a frontal lobe tumor (2). SF126 cells do not express the glial markers GFAP or glutamine synthetase but are positive for laminin and fibronectin expression in early passages, suggestive of proliferative or transformed mesenchymal cells of glioblastoma (2). SF126 cells exhibit hypertriploidy and fibroblastic morphology in culture and are non-tumorigenic in athymic mice (2). ﹤bold>Source:﹤/bold>The SF126 glioblastoma cell line was derived from the left frontal lobe tumor of a 50-year-old female patient (2).Research Category:Cancer

Packaging

≥1X10⁶ cells/vial

Quality

Each vial contains ≥1X10⁶ viable cells. Cells are tested negative for infectious diseases by a Human Essential CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services. Cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for inter-species contamination from rat, mouse, chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate (NHP) as assessed by a Contamination CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services. Cells are negative for mycoplasma contamination. Each lot of cells is genotyped by STR analysis to verify the unique identity of the cell line.

Storage and Stability

Store in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
