Cell Line Name

COLO 794

Cell Line Description

Colo 794 was established from a 14 year old male patient with a malignant melanoma. The melanoma showed rapid growth and metastases in the patient and the biopsy was taken before therapy from a subcutaneous metastasis. The cell line was eradicated from mycoplasma at ECACC.COLO 794 and COLO 800 (ECACC Catalogue number 93051123) were both derived from the same 14 year old male This has been confirmed by STR profiling.
