BxPC-3 is a human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line widely used as a model for pancreatic cancer research. These adherent epithelial cells exhibit stable growth and are commonly employed to study tumor biology, signal transduction, drug response, and therapeutic resistance. BxPC-3 cells are particularly valuable in preclinical oncology research, including screening of anti-cancer compounds and investigation of pathways involved in pancreatic tumor progression.
The cells should be handled at laboratory containment level 1.
