The Cell Lines Behind the Literature

Six standout models from our SK collection — selected for their scientific impact, research breadth, and critical role in translational oncology.

SK-BR-3
HER2+ Breast Adenocarcinoma

The definitive model for HER2-targeted therapy research. Overexpresses HER2/neu ~30x and is essential for trastuzumab, lapatinib, and ADC studies.

SK-MEL Panel (T8426–T8467)
11 Melanoma Lines

The most extensive melanoma cell line panel from a single source. Ideal for BRAF/MEK inhibitor research, immunotherapy studies, and cross-subtype comparisons.

View panel
SK-OV-3
Ovarian Adenocarcinoma

A leading model for platinum resistance, PARP inhibitor response, and ovarian cancer immunotherapy. Widely cited across thousands of peer-reviewed studies.

View product
SK-N-BE(2) / SK-N-BE(2)-C 
Neuroblastoma

Critical for pediatric cancer research. This isogenic pair is ideal for drug resistance studies, with SK-N-BE(2)-C serving as a go-to model for high-risk MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma.

View product
Capan-1
Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Derived from a liver metastasis and harbouring a KRAS G12V mutation, Capan-1 is one of the most widely used models for studying pancreatic cancer invasion and therapeutic resistance.

View product
Tera-2
Testicular Embryonal Carcinoma

A rare pluripotent cell line that differentiates upon retinoic acid treatment, making it a unique model for cancer stem cell biology and developmental oncology research.
