Quick Overview

COLO 668 is a human cell line derived from a small cell lung carcinoma, known for BRAF V599E mutation and used in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

COLO 668 is a human cell line derived from a small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and is notable for its BRAF V599E mutation, which has been identified in various cancer studies. This cell line is frequently used in research related to BRAF mutations and their implications in cancer progression and treatment. The presence of the V599E mutation in BRAF makes COLO 668 a valuable model for studying the effects of BRAF inhibitors and understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying SCLC. Additionally, COLO 668 has been utilized in the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) for drug sensitivity profiling, contributing to the development of predictive models for anticancer drug responses. Its genetic profile and response to various therapeutic agents make it a key resource in cancer research, particularly in the context of targeted therapies and personalized medicine.
