The AGS cell line is a human gastric adenocarcinoma-derived epithelial cell line widely used in cancer research and drug discovery. It exhibits characteristic epithelial morphology and maintains robust growth in standard culture conditions. AGS cells are commonly employed to study gastric cancer biology, signal transduction pathways, apoptosis, proliferation, and drug response, making them a versatile model for both basic research and preclinical studies.
The cells should be handled at laboratory containment level 2.
