Comments Group: Patented cell line.
Registration: International Depositary Authority, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC); CRL-12191.
Biotechnology: Can be used to construct a living bioengineered skin substitute (StrataGraft) intended to provide immediate wound coverage and promote wound healaling through sustained expression by living cells of wound healing factors (PubMed=24527287).
Biotechnology: Can be used to construct a human skin model (Stratatest) that can be used to assess tissue damage caused by chemical or physical agents and for the identification and characterization of agents formulated to mitigate this damage (PubMed=20688150).
Omics: Transcriptome analysis by microarray.
