Immortalized Human Fibroblast Cell Line

Typical fibroblastoid morphology.

Immortalized human fibroblast cell line.

Atcc was entrusted with its first cell line in 1962 and has consistently attained the highest standards and used the most reliable procedures to verify every cell line since. The primary mouse embryonic fibroblast cells were transferred the t every 3 days the first 3 and inoculated at the rigid density of 3 10 5 cells per 20 cm 2 dish the second 3 continuously. The if cell line was evaluated for permissiveness to human cytomegalovirus hcmv infection after the if cell line surpassed the normal. Immortalised cell lines are widely used as a simple model for more complex biological systems for example for the analysis of the biochemistry and cell biology of mammalian including human cells.

The main advantage of using an immortal cell line for research is its immortality. By passaging also known as splitting scientists transfer a. An immortalized fibroblast if cell line which was morphologically akin to the parental cell line was isolated. The spontaneously immortalized cells with stable growth rate were established after 20 to 30 generations in culture and then named 3t3 cells.

The atcc cell biology collection is one of the largest bioresources in the world and offers a complex array of human animal insect fish and stem cell lines from which to choose. Immortalized cell lines are either tumorous cells that do not stop dividing or cells that have been artificially manipulated to proliferate indefinitely and can thus be cultured over several generations table 14 1 because immortalized cells continuously divide they eventually fill up the dish or flask in which they grow. The cells can be grown indefinitely in culture. The cells are characterized by unlimited growth while maintaining expression of cell type specific markers and functions such as.

Htert immortalized primary cells atcc human telomerase reverse transcriptase htert immortalized cell lines represent a breakthrough in cell biology research that combines the in vivo nature of primary cells with the traditional cell line s ability to survive continuously in vitro. Htert immortalized human foreskin fibroblast cell line.
