Huh7 Cell Line

General Information
OrganismHomo sapiens, human
Cell Line DescriptionThe HuH-7 cell line was established in 1982 from a well-differentiated hepatocyte-derived carcinoma cell line originally derived from a liver tumor of a 57-year-old Japanese man. This cell line was established by Nakabayshi, H. and Sato, J. Most Huh-7 cells have chromosome numbers between 55 and 63 (pattern 60) and are highly heterogeneous. These cells adhere to the surface of a flask or plate and typically grow as a 2D monolayer. Huh-7 is highly sensitive to hepatitis C virus (HCV) and is often used as a model to study liver cancer and HCV. This cell line can be used in HCV replicon systems, allowing the production of infectious HCV particles in vitro and the development of drugs against HCV.

Shipped inDry ice
Storage Temperature−196°C
Additional InfoHuh7 cells have played an important role in hepatitis C research. Until 2005, it was impossible to culture hepatitis C in the laboratory. The introduction of the Huh7 cell line allows screening of drug candidates against laboratory-grown hepatitis C virus and allows the development of new drugs against hepatitis C.
Characteristics
Cytogenetic InformationThe HuH7 cell line is characterized by a heterogeneous chromosome number, typically ranging from 55 to 63, reflecting genetic variability within the cell population.
TumorigenicYes, in nude mice.
Mycoplasma TestNegative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing1. Remove old medium from adherent cells and wash with calcium- and magnesium-free PBS. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml.
2. Then, completely cover the cells with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks.
3. Allow cells to detach by incubating at room temperature for 8-10 minutes.
4. After incubation, cells were gently mixed with 10 ml of medium to resuspend and centrifuged at 300xg for 3 min.
5. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them to a new flask that already contains fresh medium.
Medium RenewalEvery 3 days
Subcultivation RatioThe ratio of 1:4 to 1:6 is recommended.
Culture MediumRPMI 1640, w: 2.1 mM stable Glutamine, w: 2.0 g/L NaHCO3 + 10% FBS
Culture ConditionsAtmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%;Temperature: 37°C
CryopreservationCells should be suspended in specially designed freezing medium, such as CM-1.
