DescriptionOSUMMER.7 Mouse NRAS-Mutant Melanoma Cell Line
Alternate Names
  • Mouse melanoma cell line
Background InformationThe OSUMMER (Ohio State University and Moffitt Melanoma Exposed to Radiation) cell lines fulfill a previously unfilled gap in melanoma biology. These cell lines are syngeneic with C57BL/6 laboratory mice and have genetic profiles that are similar to those of human tumors, making them responsive to immunotherapy treatments. These NRAS-mutant cell lines can be used to discover and address potential immunotherapies in NRAS-mutant human melanomas, which make up an estimated 15-30% of human melanomas. These cell lines also enable in vivo testing of immunotherapies with a mouse model.

OSUMMER.7 NRAS mouse melanoma cell line was derived from

Source
OSUMMER.7 was derived from melanoma induced in TN (Tyr::CreER) mice exposed to UVA or UVB radiation on postnatal day 3 (1).
