BRAF Genetic Alteration Cell Panel

TCP-1032 ^™

BRAF gene is a proto-oncogene encoding the BRAF protein, a serine/threonine kinase of the RAF family that acts downstream of RAS and upstream of MEK in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. BRAF mediates cell division, proliferation, and differentiation in response to a host of stimuli. Mutations in BRAF lead to excessive cellular proliferation and enhanced survival, and often underlie birth defects, and cancers of the thyroid and skin. The BRAF gene is most frequently mutated at codon 600. BRAF V600E mutation has been found in more than 60% of melanomas, as well as 7-8% of other cancers. The BRAF Genetic Alteration Cell Panel (ATCC TCP-1032) is composed of eight selected human tumor cell lines from various common cancer types that carry BRAF hotspot mutations in codon 600. The BRAF mutation status of each cell line has been sequenced and validated by ATCC. This panel is useful for BRAF pathway research and BRAF inhibitors anti-cancer drug discovery.

Instructions for use

BSL 1

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.
