BHK Cells
BHK Cells are a type of cell line derived from hamster kidney tissue. They are one of the most widely used cell lines in research and biotechnology due to their ability to withstand the environment of laboratory cultures. BHK cells have a high capacity for growth, are resistant to infection, and can be easily manipulated to express certain proteins or genes. Their high growth rate makes them an ideal choice for studying gene expression, virus replication, drug metabolism and for gene therapy. BHK cells are also used in the production of monoclonal antibodies, as well as in vaccine development and testing. In addition, they are a critical tool for investigating cellular development and behavior, making them a key asset in modern biology and biotechnology.
