Description

Cell Line Origin

Human Caucasian neuroblastoma

Cell Line Description

Established from a bone marrow metastasis from a 4-year-old caucasian female suffering with neuroblastoma. The cells have been used as a target cell in cell-mediated cytoxicity tests.

Application

Human SK.N.SH cell line has been used in dark toxicity testing of a chloro-indium-phthalocyanine photosensitizer (In-Pc). It has also been used to study the potential mechanisms and domain requirements of the hHSJ1a (DnaJ heat shock protein family member B2) mediated reduction in superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) aggregation.
