Quick Overview

Human small cell lung cancer cell line with known genetic and molecular characteristics.

Detailed Summary

SCLC-21H is a human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell line derived from a patient with lung cancer. It is characterized by the presence of neuroendocrine markers such as L-DOPA decarboxylase (DDC), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and creatine kinase (CK), as well as the expression of the tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). The cell line exhibits a classic SCLC morphology with dense core granules and is known for its rapid growth in vitro. SCLC-21H has been used in studies investigating the molecular mechanisms of SCLC, including the role of neuroendocrine markers and the impact of genetic alterations on tumor behavior. It is also utilized in drug sensitivity testing and the development of targeted therapies for SCLC.
