HeLa mCherry-Histone H2B EGFP-Alpha Tubulin Cell Line

Invented by Prof Francis Barr from University of Oxford
Invented at University of Liverpool

Info

Catalogue Number 152987
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Histone H2B, Alpha Tubulin
Parental Line HeLa
Host Human
Tissue Cervix
Model Reporter
Relevance 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.
Research Area Cell Cycle, Cell Type or Organelle Marker, Cell Structure and Motility, DNA Damage and Repair, Genetic Studies Tools
Recommended Growing Conditions DMEM, 10% FBS, 5% CO2, 37oC. Antibiotic selection for GFP and mCherry expression: 1μg/mL Puromycin, 2μg/mL Blasticidine, expression is quite stable but selecting at least every two passages is recommended.
