🤖 AI SummaryBased on 8 publications

Quick Overview

EB2 is a human B-cell line derived from Burkitt's lymphoma, used in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

EB2 is a human B-cell line established from a Burkitt lymphoma, known for its ability to grow in suspension without attachment to glass. It has been used in studies related to viral infections, cancer biology, and genetic diversity. The cell line exhibits characteristics such as aneuploidy and has been utilized in research on tumor progression and drug sensitivity. EB2 is part of the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and has been analyzed for its genetic and molecular profiles, contributing to understanding of cancer mechanisms and therapeutic responses.
