RK13 is a rabbit epithelial cell line that was originally isolated from the kidney of a rabbit. RK13 exhibits epithelial-like morphology and adherent culture properties. RK13 is a spontaneously immortalized cell line. This cell line is tested positive for keratin protein expression and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). RK13 are susceptible to infection by multiple viruses such as HPV, HSV, rabbitpox virus, vaccinia virus, SARS coronavirus, and a range of simian adenovirus subtypes. Therefore, it can be used to establish a host transfection model.

RK13 cells serve as valuable mammalian cell hosts for stable transfection in virus studies, making them essential tools for investigating viral replication, pathogenesis, and antiviral drug development. Their susceptibility to various viruses allows researchers to study how these pathogens interact with host cells and induce cytopathic effects. Furthermore, RK13 cells are utilized to investigate apoptosis induction, providing crucial insights into cell death mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
