DescriptionDM6 Human Melanoma Cell Line
OverviewThe DM6 human melanoma cell line is an established model for immunotherapy and chemoresistance. DM6 human melanoma cells harbor the melanoma driver mutation BRAF V600E and express the melanoma markers gp100 and MelanA (2). DM6 human melanoma cells express HLA-A2 antigen and are competent to induce T-cell cytotoxic response (3).The antigenic expression profile of this cell line has contributed to its utilization as a viable model for evaluating targeted cancer immunotherapy (4). DM6 melanoma cells are extremely resistant to the common first-line chemotherapy for malignant melanoma (5). The unique features of the DM6 human melanoma cell line make it a system with high clinical relevance.

Source:
The DM6 human melanoma cell line was derived from surgically excised lymph nodes dispersed into single cell suspensions (2).
Alternate Names
  • DM006
  • Duke Melanoma 6
Background InformationAlthough cases of malignant melanoma show a high survival rate when treated early, patients with later stages of the disease and chemotherapy-resistant forms have a poor prognosis (1). Relevant cellular models of human chemoresistant melanoma are of great importance for understanding mechanisms of resistance and in aiding the development of effective new treatments, especially targeted immunotherapies.
