MIA PaCa-2 is a human pancreatic carcinoma cell line widely used as an in vitro model for pancreatic cancer research. These adherent epithelial-like cells exhibit aggressive growth characteristics and are commonly employed to study tumor progression, oncogenic signaling, metabolism, and therapeutic response. MIA PaCa-2 cells are frequently used in drug screening and mechanistic studies focused on pancreatic tumor biology, providing a robust platform for preclinical oncology research.
The cells should be handled at laboratory containment level 1.
