Description

Cell Line Origin

Human Caucasian embryo skin

Cell Line Description

Derived from a skin biopsy of a normal Caucasian female embryo. Cells may be considered normal and may serve as controls for study of cells having mutant chromosomes. Cells support growth of herpes viruses and SV40 virus can induce transformation.

Application

Chromosome and virus studies (Normal control): herpesviruses, SV40
