MIA PaCa-2

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

MIA PaCa-2 is a human

cell line used extensively in pancreatic cancer research and therapy development.[1]

In 1977,[2] MIA PaCa-2 cells were derived from the carcinoma of a 65-year-old male.[citation needed]

The cells exhibit

CD56.[1] The cells have a round, epithelial morphology, and are adherent in cell culture
.

MIA PaCa-2 has served for decades as a model of pancreatic cancer, and studies of MIA PaCa-2 physiology have helped clarify the mechanisms of

lysates targeting IgG production,[3] and augmented drug-delivery methods relying on quantum dots.[4]
