NIH/3T3 Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast Cell Line with GFP
Introduction
The NIH/3T3 Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast Cell Line, established from NIH/Swiss mouse embryo cultures, is a continuous cell line. NIH/3T3 cells are highly sensitive to foci formation by sarcoma viruses and the replication of leukemia viruses, making them valuable for DNA transformation and transfection studies. This cell line is ectromelia virus (mousepox) negative. Due to its high transfection efficiency, this cell line is commonly used in laboratory research involving transfection and gene expression studies.
OriCell™ NIH/3T3 Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast Cell Line with GFP is generated by transducing NIH/3T3 cells with a recombinant lentiviral vector carrying the GFP gene, resulting in stable expression of green fluorescent protein. It enables convenient cell tracking and visualization both in vitro and in vivo.
