Glioma is one of the most common brain tumors and is highly aggressive and resistant to standard treatments. Immunotherapy is one of the more promising treatment options since the discovery of lymphatics in the central nervous system allows for penetration of the blood-brain barrier (1). Cellular models that both recapitulate in vivo characteristics of gliomas and are amenable to immunotherapeutic modalities are thus of great value in advancing understanding of gliomas and their potential treatment.The CNS-1 rat glioma cell line is a well-established model that closely mimics the invasive behavior and growth characteristics of human gliomas (2). CNS-1 cells are derived from an N-nitroso-N-methylurea-induced intracranial tumor of a male Lewis rat and are histocompatible with this inbred rat strain, facilitating a range of in vivo studies. Tumors derived from injection of CNS-1 cells display diffuse infiltrative patterns similar to human glioblastoma multiforme (2,3). CNS-1 cells are positive for glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), retinoic acid receptor α, and neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM-140 (2,4). CNS-1 cells exhibit multiple chromosome loss and rearrangements reflecting genetic instability common in many human gliomas (2). CNS-1 rat glioma cells are a highly relevant model with wide applications for glioma immunotherapies.CNS-1 cell line originated from an N-nitroso-N-methylurea-induced intracranial tumor of a male Lewis rat (1). 1.

Features and Benefits
CNS-1 rat glioma cells are a highly relevant model with wide applications for glioma immunotherapies.
Storage and Stability
Store in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
