African Green Monkey Kidney Cells-COS-1
Product Overview
African Green Monkey Kidney Cells-COS-1 are an immortalized cell line widely used in scientific research. This cell line was derived from the CV-1 cell line through transfection with SV40 containing an origin-defective mutation encoding the wild-type T-antigen. COS-1 cells have a constitutively expressed copy of the entire early region of the SV40 genome integrated, thus enabling them to support the replication of SV40 virus and its variants (such as the temperature-sensitive A209 virus) at high temperatures.
