Single cell RNA-seq from 10X for a living biobank of ovarian cancer ex vivo models reveals profound mitotic heterogeneity

We validated fifteen models from “living biobank” to provide models that support interrogation of Chromosome Instability and to evaluate novel therapeutics. Single cell RNA-seq was performed on tumour and stromal cells from 4 patients with ovarian cancer to establish gene expression profile differences between the two cell types and also heterogeneity within the tumour population. The samples used were AS38b, AS59, AS74-1, AS79, they are grown in OCMI media supplemented with 5% hyclone serum (AS38, AS59) or 5% FBS (AS74, AS79) in 5% CO2 and 5% O2. At 37C
