Detailed Summary

OVK18 is a human ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell line derived from ascitic fluid of a patient with ovarian endometrioid carcinoma. It has been cultured in vitro for over 2 years, developing 40 transfer generations. The cell line exhibits characteristics of malignant epithelial tumors, including abnormal chromosome numbers, intercellular bridges, and the ability to form tumors when transplanted into nude mice. OVK18 shows resistance to certain steroid hormones, with growth suppression observed in the presence of high concentrations of β-estradiol, promegestone, or dehydrotestosterone. It is used in studies related to ovarian cancer biology, drug sensitivity, and molecular mechanisms of tumor progression.
