Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
- Name: UP Cell Line
- Alternate name: HPV, Human papillomavirus
- Tool sub type: Continuous
- Parental cell: Human epidermal keratinocytes - strain U
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Skin
- Disease: Cancer
- Model: Immortalised Line
- Conditional: No
- Description: The paired normal and immortalised cell lines provide a good model system for studying the interaction of the HPV genome with human cells and offer the potential for further studies on the effects of carcinogenesis and oncogenes in malignant conversion of HPV16-infected keratinocytes vp HPV16-immortalised keratinocyte cell line
- Production details: Primary human keratinocytes from newborn foreskin samples were used as the source of cells. These cells were then grown in culture and at passage 2 transfected with the pSV2neo/16 plasmid which contains the entire HPV16 genome.
- Recommended controls: Human epidermal keratinocytes - strain U parental line
Target Details
- Target: HPV transfected human keratinocytes
Handling
