- Alternate name: Histone H2B
- Research fields: Cell biology;Genetics
- Tool sub type: Continuous
- Parental cell: HeLa
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Cervix

- 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
- Format: Frozen
- Growth medium: DMEM, 10% FBS, 5% CO2, 37?°C. Antibiotic resistance for selection of GFP positive cells: 4 ?g/ml Blasticidine, expression of GFP is quite stable but selecting at least every two passages is recommended.
- Unit size: 1x10^6 cells / vial
