MIA PaCa-2
from Wikipedia

MIA PaCa-2 is a human pancreatic cancer cell line used extensively in pancreatic cancer research and therapy development.[1]

In 1977,[2] MIA PaCa-2 cells were derived from the carcinoma of a 65-year-old male.[citation needed]

The cells exhibit CK5.6, AE1/AE3, E-cadherin, vimentin, chromogranin A, synaptophysin, SSTR2, and NTR1, but not CD56.[1] The cells have a round, epithelial morphology, and are adherent in cell culture.

MIA PaCa-2 has served for decades as a model of pancreatic cancer, and studies of MIA PaCa-2 physiology have helped clarify the mechanisms of carcinogenesis in pancreatic cancer,[1] aid the development of cancer cell lysates targeting IgG production,[3] and augmented drug-delivery methods relying on quantum dots.[4]
