Comparative proteomic analysis of cell lines and scrapings of the human intestinal epithelium
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In vitro models are indispensable study objects in the fields of cell and molecular biology, with advantages such as accessibility, homogeneity of the cell population, reproducibility, and growth rate. The Caco-2 cell line, originating from a colon carcinoma, is a widely used in vitro model for small intestinal epithelium. Cancer cells have an altered metabolism, making it difficult to infer their...
