Quick Overview

Human multiple myeloma cell line used in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

RPMI-8226 is a human multiple myeloma cell line derived from a patient with plasma cell leukemia. It is widely used in cancer research for studying the molecular mechanisms of myeloma and for drug development. The cell line is characterized by its B-cell lineage and has been utilized in various studies related to gene expression, protein profiling, and drug sensitivity. It is part of the NCI-60 panel and has been extensively analyzed for its genetic and molecular features.
