HEK293 Cell Line Applications
Protein Expression: HEK293 cells are widely used to produce recombinant proteins, including therapeutic proteins and monoclonal antibodies. This is due to their high transfection efficiency and ability to perform human-like post-translational modifications.
Gene Function Studies: Researchers utilize HEK293 cells to study gene expression, regulation, and the functional roles of specific genes, making them a valuable tool for genetic research
Drug Screening and Development: HEK293 cells are employed in high-throughput screening assays to test the efficacy and toxicity of new drug candidates, facilitating the drug discovery process.
Viral Vector Production: These cells are commonly used to produce viral vectors, such as adenoviruses and lentiviruses, which are essential tools in gene therapy and genetic research.
Signal Transduction Research: HEK293 cells are used to investigate cellular signaling pathways, helping to elucidate the mechanisms of signal transduction and their implications in various diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.
Protein-Protein Interaction Studies: As HEK293 cells are easily transfected, they are often used to investigate binary interactions of two ectopically expressed proteins. After transfection of the proteins of interest, the potential interaction are studied by co-immunoprecipitation studies.
