Quick Overview

Human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line for cancer research

Detailed Summary

The A-204 cell line is a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line derived from a tumor, commonly used in cancer research. It is characterized by specific genetic alterations, including the PAX3-FKHR fusion gene, which is associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. This cell line has been utilized in studies investigating the molecular mechanisms of sarcoma development and drug sensitivity. Research on A-204 has contributed to understanding the role of fusion proteins in tumorigenesis and has been used in screening for potential therapeutic agents. The cell line is also noted for its expression of certain markers and its behavior in in vitro and in vivo models.
