| Description | CHO-K1 cells are a subclone of the CHO cell line, derived from an adult Chinese hamster ovary biopsy in 1957. These diploid cells share a karyotype similar to human cells and have a genomic sequence of 2.45 Gb with 24,383 predicted genes. Notably, CHO-K1 cells lack the gene for proline synthesis, requiring proline for growth. They exhibit rapid growth, ease of culture, and minimal chromosomal abnormalities. Interestingly, these cells show morphological changes in response to cholera toxin. While CHO-K1 cells are susceptible to certain viruses, they display resistance to Poliovirus, Modoc virus, and Buttonwillow virus. The presence of numerous glycosylation genes affects the quality of therapeutic proteins and their susceptibility to viruses.
CHO-K1 cells from AcceGen are an excellent choice due to their production and cryopreservation carried out by professional operators using advanced techniques under standardized conditions. These cells boast high quality, viability, and undergo rigorous control measures to ensure their reliability and consistency in various applications. | |||

| Application | FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY The CHO-K1 cell line can be genetically modified to grow as adherent or suspension cells and have gained regulatory approval for the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins. CHO-K1 cells serve as an excellent host expression system for various products, including growth factors, hormones, monoclonal antibodies, interferons, and enzymes. Moreover, they are utilized in in vitro cancer research, especially for studying ovarian cancer. The popularity of CHO-K1 cells in protein production stems from their favorable attributes such as high growth rate, ease of culture, and low occurrence of chromosomal abnormalities. | |||
