Target Cell Background
A new human erythroleukemia cell line has been established. This line, designated HEL, is capable of spontaneous and induced globin synthesis, producing mainly Gγ and Aγ chains. Embryonic chains (ε, ζ) and α chains are detectable in very small amounts; β chains are undetectable. This line provides a new model system for studying aspects of erythroid cell differentiation and differential globin gene expression.

Short Description
HEL-cell based In Vivo Tumorigenesis Assay
Assay Description
Tumorigenicity is defined the property of a cell to form tumors when inoculated into an immunosuppressed animal model. Generally, test cells and tumor cells as positive control are administered subcutaneously into immunosuppressed nude mice. The number of animals developing tumors are compared with a positive control reference cell line.
