Humanized MC38-hPD-L1-hHER2-LZ Reporter Tumor Cell Line

Reporter Immune Checkpoint Cell Lines

Design of the MC38-hPD‑L1-hHER2-LZ cell line

The MC38 cell line was derived from C57BL/6 murine colon adenocarcinoma cells. They form solid tumors upon subcutaneous injection in immunocompetent mice.

We generated a MC38-hPD-L1-hHER2-LZ clonal cell line expressing high levels of human PD-L1 (CD274 NCBI GeneID: 29126) and human HER2 (ERBB2 NCBI GeneID: 2064), and an optimized dual fusion reporter luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ). These cells are invalidated for murine Pd-l1 (Cd274, NCBI Gene ID: 60533). MC38-hPD-L1-hHER2-LZ cells form solid tumors in vivo. Isogenic wild-type (WT) and luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ) control clones are available.

C57/Bl6 mice were injected (s.c.) with 2x106 MC38-hPD-L1-LZ cells (left) or MC38-hPD-L1-hHER2-LZ cells (right). Tumor growth was measured every 2 to 3 days. Tumor size (mm3) = (width²*length)/2.
