RD Cell Line

Quick Overview

RD is a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line used in cancer research.

Detailed Summary

The RD cell line is a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line derived from an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. It is widely used in cancer research, particularly in studies involving rhabdomyosarcoma, due to its ability to form tumors in nude mice and its responsiveness to various treatments. The cell line has been characterized for its genetic and molecular properties, including the presence of the PAX3-FKHR fusion gene, which is associated with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. RD cells have also been used to study drug resistance and the development of therapeutic strategies. Additionally, the cell line has been utilized in investigations of cancer stem cells and their role in tumor progression and treatment resistance.
