H1299

H1299 (/h, 1, 2, 9, 9/) is a human non-small cell lung cancer cell line used in scientific research. It is a subtype of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, which are commonly used in cancer research to study the mechanisms of cancer development and progression, as well as to test potential therapeutic strategies.

Etymology

The name "H1299" is derived from the initial of the human species (H) and the numerical code assigned to this particular cell line. The exact origin of the numerical code is not publicly disclosed, but it is a common practice in cell biology to assign unique identifiers to each cell line to facilitate their cataloging and referencing in scientific literature.
