Target Cell Name
Hbl-2
Target Cell Organism
Human
Target Cell Background
The HBL-2 cell line is derived from an AIDS-SNCCL (AIDS-associated small non-cleaved cell lymphoma) patient. After immunophenotypic and molecular genetic analysis, the HBL-2 was established from the original tumor clones. The HBL-2 cell line presents surface immunoglobulin and B-cell restricted markers as well as a phenotype consistent with SNCCL; the cell line also displays clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. The HBL-2 cell line is considered useful as a biological model to study AIDS-associated non-Hodgkin lymphomagenesis (AIDS-NHL) and the impacts of biological, immunological, and viral factors involved.

Assay Name
In Vitro BrdU Assay (Cell Proliferation)
Assay Description
5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) assay is another methodological approach used to determine cell proliferation. BrdU incorporated into synthesized DNA can be determined using BrdU-specific monoclonal antibody. A secondary antibody is used to generate fluorescent sig nal on DNA synthesis.
