The Jurkat cell line (originally called JM) was established in the mid-1970s from the peripheral blood of a 14-year-old boy with T cell leukemia. [2] [3] Different derivatives of the Jurkat cell line that have been mutated to lack certain genes can now be obtained from cell culture banks.
CHO cells in suspension. A cell suspension or suspension culture is a type of cell culture in which single cells or small aggregates of cells are allowed to function and multiply in an agitated growth medium, thus forming a suspension. Suspension culture is one of the two classical types of cell culture, the other being adherent culture. The ...
Schematic of cell adhesion. Cell adhesion is the process by which cells interact and attach to neighbouring cells through specialised molecules of the cell surface. This process can occur either through direct contact between cell surfaces such as cell junctions or indirect interaction, where cells attach to surrounding extracellular matrix, a gel-like structure containing molecules released ...
Immunological synapse between Jurkat T cell expressing GFP-actin (green) and Raji B cell stained with CMAC (blue). Synapse formation was induced by Staphylococcal enterotoxin E superantigen . In immunology , an immunological synapse (or immune synapse ) is the interface between an antigen-presenting cell or target cell and a lymphocyte such as ...
Cell samples can be taken from tissue explants or cell suspension cultures. Adherent cell cultures with an excess of nutrient-containing growth medium will continue to grow until they cover the available surface area. [3] Proteases like trypsin are most commonly used to break the adhesion from the cells to the flask. Alternatively, cell ...
Tissue culture flasks. RPMI 1640, simply known as RPMI medium, is a cell culture medium commonly used to culture mammalian cells. [1] RPMI 1640 was developed by George E. Moore, Robert E. Gerner, and H. Addison Franklin in 1966 at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (formerly known as Roswell Park Memorial Institute), from where it derives its name. [2]
Huh7 cells – hepatocyte-derived carcinoma cell line; Jurkat cells – a human T lymphocyte cell line isolated from a case of leukemia; OK cells – derived from female North American opossum kidney cells; Ptk2 cells – derived from male long-nosed potoroo epithelial kidney cells; Vero cells – a monkey kidney cell line that arose by ...
Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are a subset of cell surface proteins [1] that are involved in the binding of cells with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM), in a process called cell adhesion. [2] In essence, CAMs help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings.
