Beschreibung

Application

Virus studies: VSV (Indiana), Ad 3, Poliovirus, measles virus

Biochem/physiol Actions

Human cervix carcinoma

Originally derived from human amnion tissue. Have been used in virus studies; susceptible to VSV (Indiana), adenovirus 3 and poliovirus. Useful in differentiating virulent and avirulent measles virus. HeLa marker chromosomes and type A G6PD have been detected. This cell line was found to be indistinguishable from HeLa by STR PCR DNA profiling. Therefore, the cell line must be considered as derived from HeLa. Ethnicity: Black.
