- Name: HeLa mCherry-Histone H2B EGFP-Alpha Tubulin Cell Line
- Research fields: Cell biology;Genetics
- Tool sub type: Continuous
- Parental cell: HeLa
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Cervix
- Model: Reporter
- Description: The human histone H2B gene was fused to the gene encoding mCherry and Alpha Tubulin was similarly fused to EGFP. Both constructs were transfected into human HeLa cells to generate a stable line constitutively expressing H2B-mCherry and EGFP-Alpha Tubulin. The mCherry-Histone H2B 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.
- Recommended controls: HeLa parental line
Target Details
- Target: Histone H2B, Alpha Tubulin
Handling
- Format: Frozen
- Growth medium: DMEM, 10% FBS, 5% CO2, 37?°C. Antibiotic selection for GFP and mCherry expression: 1?g/mL Puromycin, 2?g/mL Blasticidine, expression is quite stable but selecting at least every two passages is recommended.
- Unit size: 1x10^6 cells / vial
- Shipping conditions: Dry ice
