2D Cell Lines and Panels Development

The development of 2D cell lines and panels for ovarian cancer involves creating and utilizing 2D cultures of ovarian cancer cells to gain insights into the disease's behavior, genetic profile, and response to various treatments. Alfa Cytology has meticulously developed a diverse array of ovarian cancer cell lines, facilitating a wide range of experiments and comprehensive research.

Introduction to 2D Cell Lines and Panels of Ovarian Cancer

Creating 2D cell lines and panels for ovarian cancer involves culturing monolayer ovarian cancer cells to study the disease's molecular mechanisms. These diverse cell lines allow researchers to investigate different ovarian cancer subtypes, analyze genetic profiles, and assess responses to therapies. These tools are crucial for understanding tumor biology, screening drugs, and developing targeted treatments.

Workflow of Ovarian Cancer Cell Line Development

Sample Collection and Processing

Collection: Tumor tissue samples are obtained during surgery or biopsy under sterile conditions and sent to the lab promptly.

Processing: Tumor tissue is washed with saline or culture medium to remove blood and impurities, then cut into small pieces (1-2 mm).

Cell Isolation

Enzymatic Digestion: Cells are released from tumor tissue using collagenase, trypsin, or other enzymes, incubated at 37 ℃ until soft.

Mechanical Dispersion: Cells are further dispersed by gentle shaking or using a cell sieve to obtain a single cell suspension.

Cell Culture

Medium Selection: Choose the appropriate medium based on cell type, such as DMEM or RPMI-1640, and supplement with necessary growth factors and antibiotics.

Inoculation: Seed the isolated cells into culture flasks or plates, ensuring appropriate density to facilitate cell attachment and growth.

Cell Line Characterization and Analysis

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis: Techniques such as genome sequencing and RNA sequencing are utilized to understand the molecular characteristics of the cell lines.

Proteomics: Protein expression and modification statuses are analyzed to provide a comprehensive understanding of cellular functions.

Functional Testing

Drug Screening: The sensitivity of cell lines to various anticancer drugs or therapeutic agents is assessed to identify potential treatment options.

Biomarker Characterization: Potential biomarkers for diagnostic or therapeutic use are screened and validated.
