Description
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) seeks licensees for matched patient-derived 3D Isocitrate Dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant glioma cell lines, 403L and 403H, generated from the same patient before and after malignant transformation from WHO grade 2 to WHO grade 4 disease. This research material provides an opportunity to study IDH-mutant glioma progression, temozolomide-associated hypermutation, invasion, metabolism, and treatment resistance. The cell lines grow as 3D spheroids, retain endogenous IDH1 R132H expression, and are authenticated to the patient's germline by short tandem repeat profiling. The high-grade 403H line shows increased invasive behavior and tumor mutational burden compared to 403L, making these cell lines valuable for cancer research and treatment development.
