293 cells for adenoviral packaging
The Adeno-X 293 Cell Line is a low-passage, transformed human embryonic kidney cell line for the production of adenovirus stocks. Compared to most laboratory strains of HEK 293, Adeno-X 293 exhibits a slower growth rate and is more strongly adherent; features that lead to reduced cell death due to overconfluence and more efficient rescue and amplification during adenovirus production. These cells are highly transfectable for optimally high adenovirus titers.
Overview
- Low-passage HEK293 clone for packaging adenovirus
- Highly transfectable
- Strongly adherent compared to most laboratory strains
- Slower growth rate facilitates more efficient adenovirus rescue and amplification
