CT26.WT Mouse Colon Cancer Cell Line with RFP
Introduction
The CT26.WT Mouse Colon Cancer Cell Line is an undifferentiated colon carcinoma cell line induced by N-nitroso-N-methylurea (NNMU). The clonogenic cell line CT26.WT has been widely used as a model for evaluating immunotherapeutic strategies and studying host immune responses. CT26.WT cells were stably transduced with the retroviral vector LXSN carrying the lacZ gene encoding the prototypic tumor-associated antigen (TAA) β-galactosidase (β-gal), resulting in the highly tumorigenic subclone CT26.CL25.
OriCell™ CT26.WT Mouse Colon Cancer Cell Line with RFP is generated by infecting parental CT26.WT cells with a recombinant lentiviral vector carrying the RFP gene, resulting in stable expression of red fluorescent protein. This cell line is commonly used to establish murine colorectal cancer models for investigating tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis, and serves as an important experimental model for colorectal cancer research, drug development, and the evaluation of therapeutic strategies. In addition, it enables cell tracking in vitro and in vivo.
