Description

Brightfield micrograph of 293T, showing adherent growth, 4X magnification.
293T is a derivative cell line of the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293, originally obtained by transforming HEK293 cells with adenovirus 5 DNA, and can be generated by the SV40 T antigen transfection. The 293T cells exhibit epithelial-like morphology and adherent culture characteristics. The stemline karyotype of this cell line is hyperdiploid, with a modal chromosome number of 64. 293T is an aneuploid cell line, displaying chromosomal counts within the near-triploid range. This cell line is tumorigenic and has a high transfection efficiency and is commonly used for lentivirus packaging, gene expression, and signal transduction studies.

Application

  • 293T cells serve as a versatile platform for viral vector production (including retroviruses, lentiviruses, and adenoviruses) by efficiently packaging SV40 origin-containing vectors. Their high transferability supports transient gene expression studies and transfection assay optimization while enabling large-scale recombinant protein production for research/therapeutics. These cells additionally facilitate pseudovirus generation for viral entry/replication studies and drug discovery research targeting ion channels, protein interactions, and post-translational modifications, along with applications in RNA interference, cell cycle progression, and cancer metastasis.
