YUMM 1.3 Mouse Melanoma Cell Line

YUMM1.3 cells are syngeneic with the immunocompetent C57BL/6 mouse background and retain genetic markers of the Braf/Pten mouse models, characterized by activation of Braf and inactivation of Pten and Cdkn2a.

​ The YUMM cell models recapitulate genetic drivers found in a significant proportion of human melanomas. YUMM1.3 cells retain genetic markers of the Braf/Pten mouse models, characterized by activation of Braf and inactivation of Pten and Cdkn2a, in which

Immunocompetent genetically-engineered mouse models harboring discrete genetic drivers of melanoma are essential for studying potential immunotherapies but are limited by the need to maintain colonies of multiple genotypes necessary to generate mouse mode

YUMM1.3 cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen until use. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
