These cells are widely used as a preclinical model for studying ovarian cancer biology, drug resistance, and therapeutic response, particularly for high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC).OVCAR-3 cells retain estrogen and progesterone receptor expression and are known for their cisplatin and doxorubicin resistance, making them highly valuable in modeling chemoresistant ovarian cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey elements and design rationale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel identity:\u003c\/strong\u003e OVCAR-3 Cells is supplied as a tumor cell line derived from Human ovary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adherent, epithelial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e PriCoat™ T25 Flasks (G299) or Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) are recommended for optimal cell culture.
