HT-29 is a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line widely used as a model for gastrointestinal cancer research. These cells display epithelial morphology, are adherent, and grow robustly under standard culture conditions. HT-29 cells are commonly utilized to study intestinal differentiation, signal transduction, drug response, inflammation, and cancer biology, making them a versatile tool for both basic research and preclinical applications.
The cells should be handled at laboratory containment level 1.
