DescriptionYUMMER1G.1F Mouse Cell Line
OverviewThe Yale University Mouse Melanoma (YUMM) lines are a comprehensive system of melanoma cell lines harboring defined genetic drivers of melanoma that are syngenic with the immunocompetent C57/B1/6 mouse model. YUMM cell lines were derived from the Braf/Pten genetically engineered mouse melanoma model, a highly penetrant GEMM in which melanomas develop with short latency. YUMM Exposed to Radiation (YUMMER) cell lines are clonal isolates of YUMM lines exposed to UVB radiation to reflect the high somatic mutation burden in melanomas. YUMMER cells harbor a high frequency of stable somatic mutations compared to YUMM cells; these mutations have been shown to stimulate host adaptive immune response.3 The YUMMER1.G1F mouse melanoma cell line is both immunocompetent and reflective of the somatic mutations common in melanomas. YUMMER1.G1F carries three driver mutations of melanoma: Braf V600E, Pten -/- and Cdkn2 -/-.1,2 YUMMER1.G1F cells are diploid, allowing for enhanced knockout frequency in CRISPR-based screens, are of female genotype, and have pheomelanin-producing background.4 The characteristics of the YUMMER1.G1F cell line make it a valuable model for investigating sex-related differences in immune checkpoint inhibition and mechanisms of anti-tumor responses.

Source
The YUMMER1.G1F mouse melanoma cell line is a diploid clonal isolate from YUMMER.G cells exposed to UVB radiation.4 The original YUMM1.1 cell line was derived from a 4-hydroxytamoxifen-induced melanoma tumor in a C57/B1/6 mouse into which mutations from the Braf/Pten genetically-engineered mouse model had been introduced via backcrossing.1
Background InformationThe great promise of immune-based therapies in cancer and recent progress in successful application of these approaches has brought to the fore the necessity of immune-competent models to evaluate immune system responses to cancer cells. Melanomas exhibit relatively high somatic mutation burden, and these mutations may act as neoantigens that generate anti-tumor immune responses. The development of immunocompetent cell models is critical to the advancement of cancer immunotherapy and understanding of immunity, although few tractable model systems are available.
