SK-OV-3 is a human ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line widely used as a model for ovarian cancer research. These adherent epithelial cells exhibit robust growth and are commonly employed to study tumor biology, signal transduction, drug response, and mechanisms of chemoresistance. SK-OV-3 cells are frequently used in preclinical oncology studies, high-throughput compound screening, and mechanistic investigations of ovarian cancer progression and therapeutic targets.
The cells should be handled at laboratory containment level 2.
