HOMOZYGOUS AND HETEROZYGOUS IDH1 GENE-DEFECTIVE HUMAN ASTROCYTOMA CELL LINES

摘要

We provide IDH1 gene-defective cell lines (e.g., IDH1R132H heterozygous and IDH1R132H homozygous) derived from dissociated human astrocytoma samples. The cells can be used alone or in combination with each other or other cell types as a tool for determining the impact of IDH1R132H on cellular biology, tumorigenesis, and metabolic profiles. The cell lines may be used to test and identify therapeutic targets and to screen for molecular therapeutic agents.
