Quick Overview

Human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line for cancer research.

Detailed Summary

KYM-1 is a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line derived from a pediatric patient. It is widely used in cancer research, particularly in studies involving rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and its molecular mechanisms. The cell line has been utilized in investigations related to drug development, genetic alterations, and tumor biology. KYM-1 is known for its sensitivity to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and has been employed in cytotoxicity assays. Additionally, it has been used in studies examining the role of PAX-FKHR fusion genes in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The cell line is also relevant in research on cancer stem cells and drug resistance mechanisms. KYM-1 has been part of studies analyzing gene expression profiles and genomic alterations associated with RMS, contributing to the understanding of tumor progression and therapeutic strategies.
