ATCCCRM-CCL-185
A549 is an epithelial cell that was isolated from the lung of a 58-year-old, White male with carcinoma. The cell line can be used in testing and calibration in ISO 17025-accredited laboratories, to challenge assay performance, validate or compare test methods, and establish sensitivity, linearity, and specificity during assay validation or implementation. A549 cells are also widely used in cancer research.
