HEL 92.1.7

Human

HEL 92.1.7 is a erythroblast cell line isolated from the bone marrow of a 30-year-old, White, male patient with erthroleukemia. This cell line can be used in immune system disorder research and immunology research.

HEL 92.1.7-cell based In Vitro TRAP Assay (Senescence)

The telomerase repeated amplification protocol (TRAP) assay is one of the common PCR-based assays used to detect telomerase activity in cells.

Cellular Senescence in Cancer Assays

Cell senescence is described as an irreversible physiological event of cell growth arrest, which is known to be caused by alterations of telomeres, oxidative stress, DNA damage and some oncogenes. Inhibition of the program of senescence is one of the main features of tumor cells and it has been reported that cancer cells can be induced to undergo senescence by chemo- and radiotherapies and genetic alterations. Telomeres help to prevent uncontrolled cell proliferation and the absence of telomeres results in aneuploidy and cell death.
