Cell Line Origin

Human lymphoblast, thymidine kinase heterozygote

Cell Line Description

The thymidine kinase heterozygote cell line TK6 has been isolated from the lymphoblastoid line HH4. HH4 was derived from the WIL-2 cell line. TK6 cells are CD19 positive, 50% of the cell population express CD20 and a small sub-population has been tested positive for CD22. We cannot confirm the BVDV status of this cell line.

Application

Bromodeoxyuridine resistant assays
TK-6 cell line has been used to study the in vitro genotoxic effects of trans- and cis-2-ethylhexyl 4-methoxycinnamate (EHMC). It has also been used to study the interaction of silver nanomaterials with the cells.
