*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY

  • Name: 16E6/E7-HSK cell line
  • Tool sub type: Primary
  • Parental cell: Keratinocytes isolated from punch biopsies of the skin from the buttocks
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Skin
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Growth properties: 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
  • Conditional: No
  • Description: 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
  • Biosafety level: 1

Target Details

  • Target: Used as an immortal adult human skin keratinocyte line for pathogenesis and inflammation studies

Handling

  • Format: Frozen
  • Growth medium: G418 selection.
  • Unit size: 1x10^6 cells / vial
  • Shipping conditions: Dry ice
  • Storage conditions: Liquid Nitrogen
  • Mycoplasma free: Yes
