Quick Overview

BCP-1 is a KSHV+ PEL cell line used in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

BCP-1 is a primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cell line derived from the peripheral blood of an HIV-seronegative patient. It is characterized by the presence of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). This cell line is utilized in studies related to PEL pathogenesis, viral interactions, and therapeutic development. BCP-1 exhibits specific genetic alterations, including deletions in tumor suppressor genes such as FHIT and WWOX, which are associated with PEL progression. It forms tumors in immunodeficient mice, making it a valuable model for in vivo studies. The cell line is also used to investigate the role of EBV in PEL, although its growth is not dependent on EBV. BCP-1 is employed in research on genomic instability, viral oncogenesis, and drug sensitivity.
