What is AGS cell?
AGS is a moderately differentiated human gastric adenocarcinoma hyperdiploid cell line. This cell line was derived from fragments of a tumor resected from a 54-year-old female patient who had received no prior therapy in 1979 (13). As a common GC cell line, AGS has been used widely in GC-related studies (14–16).Mar 16, 2016
What is AGS cancer?
AGS is a cell line exhibiting epithelial morphology that was isolated in 1979 from the stomach tissue of a 54-year-old, White, female patient with gastric adenocarcinoma. Discounts are available for our fellow nonprofit organizations.
What is A549 cell line?
A549 cells are adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells, and constitute a cell line that was first developed in 1972 by D. J. Giard, et al. through the removal and culturing of cancerous lung tissue in the explanted tumor of a 58-year-old caucasian male.
What are adenocarcinoma cells?
Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in mucus-producing (glandular) cells. Many organs have these types of cells and adenocarcinoma can develop in any of these organs.
Cell Line Description
Derived from an adenocarcinoma of the stomach of a 54 year-old Caucasian female with no prior anti-cancer treatment. AGS cells are persistently infected with parainfluenza virus type 5 (PIV5).
Subculture Routine

What is CAM on PubMed?
NCCIH and the NIH National Library of Medicine (NLM) jointly developed CAM on PubMed, a free and easy-to-use search tool for finding CAM-related journal citations. As a subset of the NLM's PubMed bibliographic database, CAM on PubMed features more than 230,000 references and abstracts for CAM-related articles from scientific journals. This database also provides links to the websites of over 1,800 journals, allowing users to view full-text articles. (A subscription or other fee may be required to access full-text articles.)
What is PDQ cancer?
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the use of Cancell/Cantron/Protocel in the treatment of people with cancer. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
What is PDQ in medical terms?
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions.
What is clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
What is complementary medicine?
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)—also called integrative medicine—includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
What is the National Cancer Institute?
The National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to test CAM therapies for use in cancer.
What is the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health?
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) facilitates research and evaluation of complementary and alternative practices, and provides information about a variety of approaches to health professionals and the public.
What is bloodroot used for?
Bloodroot, Sanguinaria Canadensis, has long been used in herbal medicine to treat skin issues, including warts and fungal infections. This native wildflower appears each spring in the eastern woodlands of North America. Native Americans also used it for red dye.
Does bloodroot cause cancer?
Only certain components of bloodroot are used in the making of neoplasene. Neoplasene causes cancer cells to die-but it can also kill healthy cells, so extreme caution is necessary. Neoplasene treatment may lessen cancer's spread or metastasis. It will also stimulate the immune system to kill cancer cells locally.
