GenMute™ siRNA Transfection Reagent for HepG2 Cell is pre-optimized for transfecting siRNA to HepG2 cells. HepG2 (Hepatocellular carcinoma, human) is a perpetual add cell line which was derived from the liver tissue of a 15 year old caucasian male with a well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. These cells are epithelial in morphology, have a model chromosome number of 55 and are not tumorigenic in nude mice. The cells secrete a variety of major plasma proteins e.g.. albumin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, alpha 1-antitrypsin, transferrin and plasminogen. They have been grown successfully in large scale cultivation systems. Hepatitis B virus surface antigens have not been detected. HepG2 cells have been shown to be G418 resistant (400µg/mL). The cells will respond to stimulation with human growth hormone.
