Abstract excerpt
Although human lung tumor-derived cell lines play an important role in the investigation of lung cancer biology and genetics, there is no comprehensive study comparing the genotypic and phenotypic properties of lung cancer cell lines with those of the individual tumors from which they were derived. We compared a variety of properties of 12 human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cell lines (cultured for a...
