Human colon cancer cells (HCT 116 Luc)

The use of HCT 116 Luc human colon cancer cells presents exciting applications within cancer research and drug development serving as a powerful model for studying tumor behavior and the effects of therapeutic interventions These cells can be preserved in dry ice for long-term viability allowing researchers to transport live specimens conveniently and reliably thereby facilitating experiments across various laboratories

In the investigation of cancer therapies HCT 116 Luc cells enable scientists to assess the efficacy of potential treatments by providing a consistent and reproducible platform for evaluating drug responses particularly in studying gene expression and signaling pathways associated with colorectal cancer Moreover their use in conjunction with the virus method for gene editing enhances the ability to investigate the role of specific genes in cancer progression and treatment resistance

Additionally when cultured in McCoy's 5A medium supplemented with 10% FBS these cells can serve as a basis for high-throughput screening assays allowing for the rapid evaluation of new compounds and their impacts on tumor growth and viability ultimately accelerating the path to clinical applications
