Cat. #: 152987
Tool sub type: Continuous
Unit size: 1×10^6 cells / vial
Research Fields: Cell biology;Genetics
Organism: Human
Tissue: Cervix
Model: Reporter
Product description: The HeLa mCherry-Histone H2B EGFP-Alpha Tubulin cell line enables live-cell imaging of chromatin (both interphase and mitotic chromosomes) and microtubule dynamics. This allows for detailed study of mitosis, spindle dynamics, cytoskeletal organisation, and cellular responses to treatments. 
Production details: 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.
Parental cell line: HeLa S3
Format: Frozen
Shipping conditions: Dry ice
Growth medium: DMEM, 10% FBS, 5% CO2, 37°C. Antibiotic selection for GFP and mCherry expression: 1µg/mL Puromycin, 4µg/mL Blasticidine, expression is quite stable but selecting at least every two passages is recommended.
Recommended controls: HeLa parental line
