One common source for establishing immortalized cell lines is genetically mutated cells derived from cancer tissues. In addition, in rare cases, cultured normal (non-cancer derived) cells may spontaneously acquire genetic mutations that give them the ability to grow indefinitely. Continuous cell lines can grow indefinitely in proper culture environments, making them a very important tool in various biological research applications.
Continuous cell lines are widely used as simple models of more complex biological systems, for example, to analyze the biochemistry and cell biology of mammalian cells. The main advantage of using continuous cell lines for research is their unlimited proliferative capacity. Continuous cell lines are more stable than primary cell lines, thus making the results of assays using them more reliable and reproducible. In addition, continuous cell lines are relatively simple to culture and process, reducing the complexity of experiments and facilitating the establishment of standardized experimental conditions. In view of the above advantages, continuous cell lines are often applied in basic biological research such as the study of the basic mechanisms of cell biology, molecular biology, and physiology. Continuous cell lines are also commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to study disease mechanisms, screen drug candidates, and produce vaccines.
Continuous cell lines are a cost-effective method of culturing cells similar to multicellular organisms in vitro. Amerigo Scientific offers a wide range of high-quality continuous cell lines for biological research.
