QCell is a high quality, well-characterised panel of primary brain cancer cell line models for academic and commercial use.

QCell models have been extensively published in over 50 scientific journals including Cancer Cell, Nature Neuroscience, Acta Neuropathologica and Neuro-Oncology.

QCell patient-derived glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines are cultured to maintain genetic and epigenetic stability with enhanced tumourigenic potential in vivo. All models form intracranial xenograft tumours and can be obtained transduced with a luciferase expressing construct for
in vivo bioluminescent tumour tracking. 

 

Academic use: No restrictions are placed on QCell models for academic use and can be obtained under an approved Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) from QIMR Berghofer. Please provide contact information including primary contact details for the MTA, shipping address, phone number and a 50-word paragraph outlining the proposed project.
