Name: HeLa EGFP-Histone H2B Cell Line
Alternate name: Histone H2B
Research fields: Cell biology;Genetics
Tool sub type: Continuous
Parental cell: HeLa
Organism: Human
Tissue: Cervix
Model: Reporter
Conditional: Yes
Description: The human histone H2B gene was fused to the gene encoding the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and transfected into human HeLa cells to generate a stable line constitutively expressing H2B-GFP. The H2B-GFP fusion protein was incorporated into nucleosomes without affecting cell cycle progression. The cell line allows high-resolution imaging of both mitotic chromosomes and interphase chromatin.
Biosafety level: 1
Recommended controls: HeLa parental line

Handling
