NCI-H460 is a human large cell lung carcinoma cell line widely used as a model for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) research. These adherent epithelial cells exhibit robust growth and maintain key features of lung carcinoma, making them suitable for studies of tumor biology, signal transduction, drug response, apoptosis, and metastasis. NCI-H460 cells are commonly employed in preclinical oncology research, high-throughput drug screening, and mechanistic studies of lung cancer progression.
The cells should be handled at laboratory containment level 1.
