DM6 Human Melanoma Cell Line

The DM6 human melanoma cell line is an established model for immunotherapy and chemoresistance. DM6 human melanoma cells harbor the melanoma driver mutation BRAF V600E and express the melanoma markers gp100 and MelanA (2). DM6 human melanoma cells express HLA-A2 antigen and are competent to induce T-cell cytotoxic response (3).The antigenic expression profile of this cell line has contributed to its utilization as a viable model for evaluating targeted cancer immunotherapy (4). DM6 melanoma cells are extremely resistant to the common first-line chemotherapy for malignant melanoma (5). The unique features of the DM6 human melanoma cell line make it a system with high clinical relevance.

Source:
The DM6 human melanoma cell line was derived from surgically excised lymph nodes dispersed into single cell suspensions (2).
