Detailed Summary

EFO-21 is a human ovarian cancer cell line established from ascitic fluid, commonly used in cancer research to investigate tumor biology, genetic mutations, and drug responses. It is part of the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and has been utilized in studies focusing on genomic profiles, drug sensitivity, and molecular characteristics of ovarian cancer. The cell line exhibits specific genetic alterations, including mutations in TP53 and other genes, which are relevant to cancer progression and therapeutic targeting. EFO-21 has been analyzed for its response to various treatments, contributing to the understanding of ovarian cancer mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.
