Cellosaurus 82-6pBlox (CVCL_U637)

[Text version]
Cell line name 82-6pBlox
Synonyms 82-6pBloxTSH; 82-6 hTERT
Accession CVCL_U637
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: 82-6pBlox (RRID:CVCL_U637)
Comments Characteristics: Transduced with a lentiviral vector containing a LTR-loxP-hTERT-SV40p-hisD-PuroR-LTR construct. When transfected with Cre recombinase the cells loose telomerase activity and histidinol sensitivity due to the excision of the hTERT and hisD genes. Simultaneously, the cells acquire puromycin resistance because the excision brings the PuroR gene under the control of the retroviral promoter (LTR).
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=HGNC; HGNC:11730; TERT.
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P06988; Escherichia coli hisD.
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P13249; Streptomyces alboniger pac (PuroR).
