Cellosaurus OUMS-29/TK (CVCL_B6EK)

[Text version]
Cell line name OUMS-29/TK
Synonyms OUMS-29/thymidine kinase
Accession CVCL_B6EK
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: OUMS-29/TK (RRID:CVCL_B6EK)
Comments Population: Japanese.
Characteristics: The introduction of HSV-1 TK gene makes the cell line 100x as sensitive to ganciclovir (GCV) compared with unmodified cells. This suicide gene can be used as a safeguard in the use of this cell line in hybrid artificial liver (PubMed=11575821).
