NCI-H292 Lung Carcinoma Cells (NCI-H292)

NCI-H292 is a human lung mucoepidermoid carcinoma cell line that was established from a female patient. It has been widely used in research to study lung cancer biology and to develop potential therapies. NCI-H292 cells have been shown to exhibit characteristics of both mucoepidermoid and adenocarcinoma types of lung cancer. They are commonly used in drug screening studies, xenograft models, and molecular biology research. The line has been selected as a prototype for transfecting human subgenomic fragments into human cells for studying the role of HBV and its individual genes in the pathogenesis of viral hepatitis and liver cancer.
