Lung cancers are classified by type: small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). SCLCs are associated with smoking and metastasize very early. By contrast, non-smokers usually present with NSCLC, which are further subdivided into squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas, and large cell carcinomas. Since both SCLC and NSCLC are usually diagnosed after the disease has spread beyond the primary site, the overall survival rates for lung cancers are poor. To breathe new life into your lung cancer research, ATCC provides numerous lung cancer cell lines, a new gene-edited isogenic NSCLC cell line, human primary cells, and h-TERT-immortalized cell lines. And to increase the throughput of your lung cancer experiments, ATCC has lung cancer cell lines organized into tumor cell panels.

All experiments should include physiologically relevant controls. ATCC provides both primary and hTERT-immortalized bronchial epithelial cells and small airway cells that may be used side-by-side with NSCLC or SCLC cells as normal controls. The primary and hTERT-immortalized cells may also be used to create 3D cell culture models to better represent an in vivo environment, ex vivo.

Browse the ATCC Primary Cells and hTERT Immortalized Cells to find physiological models relevant for your research needs.

Add new dimension to your research, read our application note Human Bronchial/Tracheal Epithelial Cells: Improving Functional Studies to find out how primary bronchial epithelial cells differentiate into mature airway tissue using a 3-D Air-Liquid Culture Interface model.
