Abstract:Background: Radiation-induced sarcoma (RIS) is a potential complication of cancer treatment. No widely available cell line models currently exist to facilitate studies of RIS. Methods: We derived a primary human cell line, UACC-SARC1, from a RIS. Short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping was used to confirm that this cell line was propagated from the tumor. Further characterization of this cell line involved comparing 24 markers using immunocytochemistry (ICC) to immunohistochemistry (IHC) of the tumor, a Matrigel … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
