Clone 9 cell line is a rat hepatocyte model for liver biology studies, drug metabolism research, and functional cellular assays in vitro experiments.
Clone 9 is an epithelial cell line isolated in 1968 from the normal liver of a young male Sprague-Dawley rat (Rattus norvegicus). The cells exhibit adherent growth and typical epithelial morphology. This line is non-tumorigenic in nude mice and serves as a control in carcinogenesis assays. Its stable karyotype and predictable growth make it ideal for nutritional supplement screening and functional hepatic studies. The cells undergo rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and are rigorously tested to ensure they are free of contamination from mycoplasma, fungi, yeast, and bacteria.

Clone 9 serves as an excellent non-transformed hepatic control for in vitro carcinogenesis and nutritional supplementation studies. It is commonly used in clonal assays to screen sera, growth factors, and dietary compounds for liver function and toxicity. As a stable, diploid line with consistent doubling time and morphology, Clone 9 provides valuable baselines against transformed or tumorigenic hepatocyte models. Its reliable adherent growth in F‑12K + 10% FBS medium facilitates reproducible high-throughput assays in pharmacology and functional cell biology, especially for evaluation of nutrient effects, detoxification enzyme expression, and hepatic metabolic activity.
