SK-OV-3 [SKOV-3; SKOV3] is a cell line with epithelial morphology that was isolated from the ovary of a 64-year-old, White, female with ovarian adenocarcinoma. This cell line is a suitable transfection host.

SK-OV-3 (also known as SKOV-3; SK.OV.3; SKOV3; Skov3 and SKO3) is an ovarian cancer cell line derived from the ascites of a 64-year-old Caucasian female with an ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma. [1] The SK-OV-3 cell line is also hypodiploid, with a modal number of chromosomes of 43 (range 42-45), occurring in 63.3% of cells.

The SK-OV-3 cell line forms colonies in soft agar, which serves as a surrogate assay for tumorigenicity. Intra-peritoneal injection of these cells into immunocompromised mice results in the growth of tumors resembling clear cell adenocarcinoma, within two to three months.

2025年3月11日 · SKOV3 is a widely used ovarian cancer cell line that has significantly contributed to research on tumor biology, drug resistance, and therapeutic development. Derived from human ovarian adenocarcinoma, it serves as a valuable model for studying ovarian cancer at both cellular and molecular levels.

Presence of glycogen and growth-related variations in 58 cultured human tumor cell lines of various tissue origins.

2014年9月17日 · We have characterized 39 ovarian cancer cell lines under uniform conditions for growth characteristics, mRNA/microRNA expression, exon sequencing, drug response for clinically-relevant therapeutics and collated all available information on the original clinical features and site of origin.

2025年1月28日 · CCK8 assays showed that sempervirine dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation of SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells. Transwell assays demonstrated that sempervirine significantly suppressed the invasion and metastasis of SKOV3 cells.

SKOV-3 cells harvested from tissue culture flasks are implanted into the subcutaneous space of the left flank of the mice. Resulting tumors are monitored by calipering twice weekly. Animal weights are measured three times weekly. Animal behaviour is monitored daily.

SK-OV-3 cells, also known as SKOV3 cells, were derived from the ascitic fluid of a 64-year-old Caucasian female with ovarian cancer, are used in the study of serous cystadenocarcinoma, a subtype of ovarian carcinoma.

Derived from the ascitic fluid from a 64 year old caucasian female with an ovarian tumour. Forms moderately well-differentiated adenocarcinoma consistent with ovarian primary cells.
