B16-F10 Mouse Skin Melanoma Cell Line
Introduction
The B16-F10 mouse skin melanoma cell line was originally isolated in 1954 by researchers at The Jackson Laboratory from skin melanoma tissue of C57BL/6J mice. The cells exhibit a mixed spindle-shaped and epithelial-like morphology. The laboratory maintained B16 cells through continuous in vivo passage, and the B16-F10 subline was established from lung metastatic melanoma tissue obtained after the 10th consecutive passage of the parental B16-F0 cell line.
OriCell™ B16-F10 Mouse Skin Melanoma Cell Line is widely used for tumor model establishment and studies of tumor mechanisms, particularly in the fields of melanoma research and tumor immunology.
