Lung cancer has posed a particular challenge to medical researchers; though there are patients that can serve as test subjects during clinical trials, such trials take months, if not years to complete. Such issues have been resolved through the advent of cell lines that accurately replicate those that would be found in tumors, and can react appropriately to introduced drugs and nucleic acid sequences. With the right transfection reagents , research investigating the role that genetic mechanisms play in cell proliferation can give accurate data that translates into valuable preclinical information. Calu-6 cells, which are epithelial lung cancer cells, were derived from human tissue, and are known for having been used to gauge the interaction between antimycin A and lung cancer, giving the medical field information regarding the effects of reactive oxygen species on cell apoptosis.

The Calu-6 (ATCC number HTB-56) epithelial cell line was derived from the tissue of a 61-year-old Caucasian female suffering from anaplastic carcinoma (lung cancer). The Calu-6 transfection cells are used for research models to further study human lung cancer and its leading pathways. Additionally, research on the relationship between  animycin A (AMA) and  lung cancer cells have also been conducted.  Calu-6 transfection reagents  enhance the intracellular delivery of oligonucleotides when the Calu-6 cell line is used as a transfection host.  Transfection Reagent for Calu-6 Cells (Lung Carcinoma Cell, HTB-56)
