Renseignements généraux
| Description | The HEK293FT cell line is a derivative of the HEK293 cell line, originally derived from human embryonic kidney cells. The "FT" designation indicates that these cells have been transfected with the SV40 large T-antigen gene, which enhances their ability to replicate plasmid vectors containing the SV40 origin of replication. This modification makes 293FT cells particularly useful for high-efficiency production of viral vectors, such as lentiviruses and adenoviruses, and for transfection studies in molecular biology and gene therapy research. HEK293FT cells exhibit an epithelial morphology and grow rapidly in culture, providing a robust and reliable system for producing high-titer viral stocks. They retain many of the characteristics of the parental HEK293 cells, including high transfection efficiency and the ability to support the replication of recombinant viruses. Researchers utilize 293FT cells to produce viral vectors for gene delivery, to study gene function and regulation, and to develop gene therapies for various diseases. Their role in the production of viral vectors makes 293FT cells a cornerstone in the fields of gene therapy, functional genomics, and molecular cloning, facilitating the advancement of research and therapeutic development. |

| Statut OGM | GMO-S1: This HEK293-derived cell line (293-FT) contains an SV40 expression plasmid with neomycin selection, supporting enhanced proliferation and transfection efficiency. The construct provides stable SV40. This classification applies only within Germany and may differ elsewhere. |
Données biomoléculaires
| Expression de l'antigène | SV40 large T antigen, Adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) |
|---|---|
| Virus | Transformant: Adenovirus 5, Simian virus 40 (SV40) |
Manipulation
| Milieu de culture | DMEM, w: 4.5 g/L Glucose, w: 4 mM L-Glutamine, w: 3.7 g/L NaHCO3, w: 1.0 mM Sodium pyruvate (Cytion article number 820300a) |
|---|---|
| Suppléments | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS. |
| Réactif de dissociation | Accutase |
| Repiquage | Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium. |
| Densité de semis | 2 to 5 x 104 cells/cm2 |
| Renouvellement des fluides | 2 times per week |
| Milieu de congélation | As a cryopreservation medium, we use complete growth medium (including FBS) + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100), which includes optimized osmoprotectants and metabolic stabilizers to enhance recovery and reduce cryo-induced stress. |
| Décongélation et culture des cellules |
|
| Atmosphère d'incubation | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| Conditions d'expédition | Cryopreserved cell lines are shipped on dry ice in validated, insulated packaging with sufficient refrigerant to maintain approximately −78 °C throughout transit. On receipt, inspect the container immediately and transfer vials without delay to appropriate storage. |
| Conditions d'entreposage | For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about −150 to −196 °C. Storage at −80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen. |
Contrôle de la qualité et analyse moléculaire
| Stérilité | Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. |
