Beschreibung

Ursprung der Zelllinie

Human cervix carcinoma

Beschreibung der Zelllinie

Originally derived from an epidermoid carcinoma of the mouth of an adult male Caucasian. It was one of the early attempts to isolate and serially propagate a human cell line directly on glass as a monolayer. NB: This cell line contains HeLa marker chromosomes and expresses type A G6PD. For further information see Nature 1976;259:211; In Vitro 1978;14:469. This cell line was found to be indistinguishable from HeLa by STR PCR DNA profiling. Therefore, the cell line should be considered as derived from HeLa. Ethnicity: Black.

Anwendung
