HEK293

HEK293 is a hypotriploid cell line with modal chromosome number of 64, which occurs in 30% of cells. Cells with higher ploidies occur less frequently at a rate of 4.2%. HEK293 cell lines display some cytogenetic instability... HEK 293 cells are popular for their ease of growth and transfection (HEK293 Transfection Kit), making them a common cell culture in cancer
