Derived from an epidermal carcinoma of the vulva taken from an 85 yr old female. The cells carry large numbers of EGF binding sites and is an indicator cell for anti-TGF binding.

Applicazioni

A431 Cell Line human has been used:

• to demonstrate that p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase enhances epidermal growth factor-induced apoptosis in A431 cells
• to study melanoma-specific CD44 (a tumor marker and transmembrane receptor) alternative splicing pattern in A431 cells
• to study the anti-cancer activity of antioxidant-rich Cameroonian medicinal plants
