Luciferase Eca-109 Esophageal Carcinoma Cells (Eca-109-Luc)

Eca-109-Luc cell line is a human esophageal carcinoma cell line that has been genetically modified to express the firefly luciferase reporter gene. Eca-109-Luc cells emit bioluminescence when the luciferase enzyme catalyzes the reaction with luciferin. Researchers use the Eca-109-Luc cell line for various studies related to esophageal cancer, including tumor growth, metastasis, and response to treatments. By monitoring the bioluminescence emitted by these cells, scientists can track the growth and spread of esophageal cancer cells in preclinical models. This allows for the visualization of tumor progression and the evaluation of therapeutic interventions.

Understanding the signaling pathways and mechanisms involved in esophageal cancer using the Eca-109-Luc cell line can provide insights into new treatment strategies and potential therapeutic targets. This cell line serves as a valuable tool for researchers studying esophageal carcinoma and seeking to develop more effective therapies for this type of cancer.
