Immortalized Human Gingival Fibroblasts- hTERT

Description Gingival fibroblasts play an important role in oral wound healing and are the main component of gingival connective tissue.
Tissue/Organ/Organ System Oral
Immortalization Method Serial passaging and transduction with recombinant retroviruses carrying hTERT gene
Cell Morphology Spindle shaped
Growth Properties Adherent
Seeding Density 7,000 - 10,000 cells/cm2; Recommended split ratio is 1:2 to 1:3
Population Doubling Time 50 - 60 hours
Expression Profile Vimentin and actin
Quality Control 1. Immunofluorescence, RT-PCR and Western Blotting were used to confirm the presence of hTERT expression (PCR primers for hTERT: 5’-CGGAAGAGTGTCTGGAGCAA-3’ forward, and 5’-GGATGAAGCGGAGTCTGGA-3’ reverse). 2. MTT assay was used to confirm the proliferative potential of the immortalized cells over the 70th passage.
Size 1*106 cells/1.0 ml
Format Frozen
Storage Liquid Nitrogen
Shipping Info Dry Ice
Categories Immortalized Cells
Applications For research only. The Immortalized Human Gingival Fibroblast -hTERT is unique that 1. The cells retained similar cytotoxicity response pattern to their primary counterparts (in response to phenol, gold, titanium and amalgam); 2. The cells retained identical phenotype to that of their primary counterparts; 3. The cells have a diploid status, showing genomic stability.
