Description

Application

Virus studies

HeLa cell line has been used to study whether Zika virus (ZIKV) infection alters centrosome number and spindle positioning in neural progenitor cells. It has also been used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of extracts, fruits and jams from Sorbus sps.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Derived from a cervical carcinoma from a 31 year old female. This was the first aneuploid line derived from human tissue maintained in continuous cell culture. Susceptible to Poliovirus type I and adenovirus type 3. Identified as a contaminant in many other cell lines. The cells should be handled under laboratory containment level 2. Ethnicity: Black.
