Description

Cell Line Origin

Human Embryo Kidney, serum-free

Cell Line Description

The human embryo kidney cell line 293 (Sigma Catalogue number. 85120602) adapted to grow in the animal component free medium Gene Therapy Medium 3 (Sigma G9916). This cell line grows in clumps in suspension. The original 293 cell line from which this cell line was derived was transformed with sheared human Ad5 DNA.
