Cell Line Name

HT-STAR-A

Cell Line Description

HT1080 cells serially transfected with synthetic HIV Gag-Pol sequences expressed from a Murine Leukaemia Virus (MLV) vector; HIV tat sequences expressed from a MLV vector; HIV rev sequence expressed from a MLV vector and amphotropic envelope protein from a MLV vector. These cells stably express synthetic HIV Gag-Pol, HIV tat, HIV rev sequences and amphotropic envelope protein. These cells serve as a packaging cell line for HIV based vectors.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
