The NCI-H292 Cell Line for Lung Cancer Drug Development

Derived from a young human female, the NCI-H292 cell line comes from the mucoepidermoid pulmonary carcinoma of a metastasized lung cancer found in the lymph node. The cell line has been used for viral research and related drug development tied to infection by the herpes simplex, mumps, and measles viruses. With an epithelial morphology, NCI-H292 cells are easy to grow in culture and modify genetically using optimized transfection reagents . Therapies relying on gene-silencing via siRNA transfection or the introduction of important protein sequences into cells can be tested quickly and efficiently in the cell line, granting quick and reliable results.
