Application

  • Each vial contains >1X106 viable cells.
  • Cells are tested negative for infectious diseases by a Human Essential CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
  • Cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for inter-species contamination from rat, mouse, chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate (NHP) as assessed by a Contamination CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
  • Cells are negative for mycoplasma contamination.
  • Each lot of cells is genotyped by STR analysis to verify the unique identity of the cell line.

Huh-7 is a well differentiated hepatocyte-derived carcinoma cell line, isolated from the liver tumor of a 57-year-old Japanese male (Nakabayashi, 1982). Derived from Huh-7, the Huh-7.5 cell line is highly permissive for subgenomic and genomic Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA replication (Blight et al., 2002) and is now employed for high yield production of HCV and studies of antivirals on industrial scale. Huh-7.5 Tet-On Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Line was generated from Huh-7.5 cells using retroviral transduction to express the Tet-On 3G transactivator protein and enable subsequent doxycycline-regulated transgene expression to aid in the study of subcellular interactions between HCV and its host (Luna, 2015; Takacs, 2017).

Features and Benefits

Huh-7.5 Tet-On human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line is useful for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) studies and production.

Storage and Stability

Cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen until use. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
