Molecular characterization of the A52 murine hepatocellular carcinoma cell line

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a poor outcome cancer with limited therapeutic choices. To advance therapeutic development we genetically characterized the A52 murine HCC cell line. We noted genetic changes that match a subset of human HCC and this offers the opportunity to test novel targeted therapies in syngeneic mice.
