Description
Immortalized Human Gingival Keratinocytes-hTERT have been obtained immortalizing Human Gingival Keratinocytes with hTERT gene. Immortalized cells were controlled passaging side by side with the primary cells. Primary cells go into senescence after the 4th passage while the hTERT gene‐tranduced cells go beyond 20 passages. This cell line is a great in vitro model system.

How are Immortalized Human Gingival Keratinocytes-hTERT maintained in culture?

These cells should be cultured in a specialized growth medium formulated for keratinocytes, supplemented with appropriate growth factors to promote optimal growth. Regular passaging and monitoring are also essential to maintain cell health and function. Detailed culture guidance is available for researchers.

Can these cells be cryopreserved?

Yes, Immortalized Human Gingival Keratinocytes-hTERT can be cryopreserved for long-term storage. It is recommended to follow established cryopreservation protocols to ensure high cell viability upon thawing.

How do Immortalized Human Gingival Keratinocytes-hTERT differ from primary keratinocytes?

Unlike primary gingival keratinocytes, which have a limited lifespan and can lose functionality over time, Immortalized Human Gingival Keratinocytes-hTERT maintain consistent growth and stability. This allows for repeated experiments and screening without the variability associated with primary cell cultures.
