Description

Cell Line Origin

An immortalized retinal pigment epithelial cell line

Cell Line Description

The h1RPE7 cell line was derived from primary human retinal pigment epithelial cells obtained from a 50-year-old female Caucasian donor. The primary culture was transfected with a construct encoding SV40 large T antigen that was deleted for the small t antigen along with puromycin resistance gene.
