Application

The World Organization for Animal Health(OIE) uses these cells for routine diagnosis of rabies. This cell line has been used as a host for transformation with expression vectors containing selectable and amplifiable marker DNAs.

Tissue

Hamster kidney

Morphology

fibroblast

Application

This cell line is a suitable transfection host. This line was originally developed for use as a source of X chromosomes in a study of X inactivation, and was subsequently found to be an excellent cell culture model for the kidney proximal tubule epitheliu
