16E6/E7-HSK cell line

Invented by Prof Aloysius Klingelhutz from The University Of Iowa
Invented at The University Of Iowa

Info

Catalogue Number 154462
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Used as an immortal adult human skin keratinocyte line for pathogenesis and inflammation studies
Parental Line Keratinocytes isolated from punch biopsies of the skin from the buttocks
Host Human
Tissue Skin
Disease Keywords Cancer
Relevance Expresses skin cell markers; proinflammatory. Tissue is adult skin cells.
Production Details Cells were transduced with HPV-16 E6/E7 LXSN replication defective retrovirus and selected in G418
Conditional No
Research Area Cancer, Microbiology, Virology
Growth/Phenotype Keywords 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
Recommended Growing Conditions G418 selection.
