SCC224 YUMM 1.1 Mouse Melanoma Cell Line

The YUMM cell lines recapitulate genetic drivers found in many human melanomas. YUMM1.1 is driven by Braf activation, Pten/Cdkn2a inactivation, and is highly tumorigenic in vivo.

      DescriptionYUMM 1.1 Mouse Melanoma Cell Line
      OverviewYUMM1.1 cells are syngeneic with the immunocompetent C57BL/6 mouse background and retain genetic markers of the Braf/Pten mouse models, characterized by activation of Braf and inactivation of Pten and Cdkn2a.
      Alternate Names
      • Yale University Mouse Melanoma cell line
      • Yale University Mouse Melanoma 1.1 cell line
      Background InformationThe promise of immune-based therapies in cancer and recent progress in successful application of these approaches has confirmed the utility of immunocompetent models for evaluation of the immune system response to cancer cells. Genetically engineered mouse models harboring discrete genetic drivers of melanoma are essential for studying potential immunotherapies, but are limited by the need to maintain colonies of multiple genotypes necessary to generate mouse models with appropriate genetic backgrounds.

      The YUMM (Yale University Mouse Melanoma) cell lines were developed as models that recapitulate genetic drivers found in a significant proportion of human melanomas.


      Source
      YUMM1.1 mouse melanoma cell line was derived from a 4-hydroxytamoxifen-induced melanoma tumor in a male C57BL/6 mouse into which mutations from the Braf/Pten genetically engineered mouse model had been introduced via backcrossing. YUMM1.1 cell line harbors the Braf V600E mutation and is homozygous negative for wild-type Pten and Cdkn2.
