A375 cells expressing far-red fluorescent TurboFP635

A375 (human malignant melanoma) is a low-metastatic human melanoma cell line derived from a 54 year-old female. It constitutes an established melanoma model especially in immunosuppressed mice. The cells were stably transfected to express the far-red fluorescent TurboFP635-protein.

The biophysical properties of TurboFP635 are especially favorable for in vivo applications such as bio-imaging of tumor progression in real time (e.g. tracing and measuring of tumors in a living animal).
