A431 Cell Lysate

- Overview
  - A431 cells were established from an epidermoid carcinoma in the skin/epidermis of an 85 year old female patient. A431 cells are used in studies of the cell cycle and cancer-associated cell signalling pathways since they express abnormally high levels of the EGFR. As such they are often used as a positive control for EGFR expression.
