SU-DHL-4

Human

SU-DHL-4 is a lymphoblast-like cell that was isolated from the peritoneal effusion of a White, 38-year-old, male patient. This cell line was deposited by A Epstein in 1976 and can be used in immunology research.

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.
