Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY (for other uses, please contact the licensing team)
- Name: 16E6/E7-HSK cell line
- Research fields: Cancer
- Tool sub type: Primary
- Parental cell: Keratinocytes isolated from punch biopsies of the skin from the buttocks
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Skin
- Disease: Cancer
- Growth properties: Upregulation of telomerase and greatly extended lifespan (greater than 5 times the lifespan of untransduced keratinocytes) with no apparent crisis or slow down in growth. Despite upregulation of telomerase, E6/E7 transduced keratinocytes exhibited significant telomere shortening with passaging in culture
- Conditional: No

- Production details: Cells were transduced with HPV-16 E6/E7 LXSN replication defective retrovirus and selected in G418
- Biosafety level: 1
Target Details
- Target: Used as an immortal adult human skin keratinocyte line for pathogenesis and inflammation studies
Handling
- Format: Frozen
- Growth medium: G418 selection.
- Unit size: 1x10^6 cells / vial
- Shipping conditions: Dry ice
