Quick Overview

THP-1 is a human monocytic cell line used in cancer and immunology research.

Detailed Summary

THP-1 is a human monocytic cell line derived from a patient with acute monocytic leukemia. It is widely used in research for studying immune responses, cancer biology, and drug development. The cell line is known for its ability to differentiate into macrophage-like cells and is utilized in studies involving inflammation, immunotherapy, and viral infections. THP-1 has been characterized in various studies for its gene expression profiles, protein interactions, and responses to different stimuli, making it a valuable tool for understanding cellular mechanisms in disease contexts.
