Cancer Cell Panel & In Vitro Oncology Assays

Overview

We offer a diverse in vitro screening panel of over 600 authenticated, well-validated human cancer cell lines across 30 cancer types. Our cancer cell line panel provides powerful tools for cancer research and drug discovery. Key features of the WuXi cancer cell panel include:

  • High quality cell banking system: mycoplasma-proof and STR verified
  • Single agent and combination compound screening for potency (% inhibition & IC50) and synergy (combination index CI)
  • Professional design with stringent quality control of study results
  • A database of cell growth curve and Standard of Care (SoC) validation data provides guidance for cell model selection
  • 9 drug-resistant cell lines
  • Over 150 engineered cell lines
  • 95 PDX-derived cell lines
  • More than 100 mouse lines, covering 20+ cancer types

Large Scale Human Cancer Cell Lines for Cell Panel Services

A wide range of 600+ human cancer cell lines is available for oncology drug discovery programs. The cell banking system is a two-tiered banking system with mycoplasma testing and STR validation. Established cell growth data and standard of care profiling enhance the quality of study. The table shows the distribution of these human cancer cell lines, sorted by the origins of derived organs/tissues.
