Description | B-Lymphoblastoid cell lines (B-LCL) are perpetually replicating B cell lines, originating from native B lymphocytes, that undergo transformation through Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. These cell lines, established from peripheral blood samples, closely mimic activated B lymphocytes in terms of surface-expressed CD antigens. The transformative prowess of EBV lies in its ability to convert quiescent B-cells into self-sustaining, immortalized lymphoblastoid cells, retaining the virus in a latent state. This enables B-LCLs to persistently proliferate in vitro, providing valuable tools for research in immunology and virology.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are B-Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines (B-LCL)?
B-Lymphoblastoid Cell Lines (B-LCL) are immortalized cell lines derived from B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. These cell lines are created by infecting B cells with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which induces the cells to proliferate indefinitely. B-LCLs are commonly used in research due to their stable growth properties and ability to produce monoclonal antibodies.
How are B-LCLs used in research?
B-LCLs are widely used in various areas of biomedical research. They serve as a model system to study B cell biology, immune responses, and genetic disorders. Researchers use B-LCLs for producing monoclonal antibodies, investigating the effects of viral infections, and conducting genetic studies, including gene mapping and identifying disease-associated genetic variants. These cell lines are also valuable in pharmacogenomics for understanding drug responses and personalized medicine.
What are the advantages of using B-LCLs in research?
Immortalization: B-LCLs can proliferate indefinitely, providing a consistent and renewable source of cells for long-term studies.
Genetic Stability: They maintain a stable genetic background, making them suitable for genetic and genomic studies.
