Descrição

Descrição geral

The NP69 immortalized human nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line retains many of the characteristics of normal nasopharyngeal cells, including keratin profiles and response to TGF-beta, while possessing many of the genetic signatures observed in NPC (2). NP69 cells are non-tumorigenic and demonstrate anchorage-dependent growth (2). The NP69 cell line is particularly useful for studies of the mechanisms of viral-associated tumorigenesis. Source: NP69 cells were derived from passage 1 cultures of biopsy-isolated primary nasopharyngeal epithelial cells transfected with the PX8 plasmid containing the simian virus 40 large T antigen (1).

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the most common cancer arising in the nasopharyngeal region, arises from epithelial cells and is especially prevalent in areas of southeast Asia and as a childhood cancer in some African populations (1). NPC ontology and tumorigenesis is closely associated with viral factors, especially Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) (1).

Qualidade

• Each vial contains ≥ 1X10⁶ viable cells.
• Cells are tested negative for infectious diseases by a Human Essential CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
• Cells are verified to be of human origin and negative for inter-species contamination from rat, mouse, chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate (NHP) as assessed by a Contamination CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
• Cells are negative for mycoplasma contamination.
• Each lot of cells is genotyped by STR analysis to verify the unique identity of the cell line.

Armazenamento e estabilidade

Store in liquid nitrogen. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
