This transformation allows for activity in the immortalized cell line that is similar to primary hepatocytes but with a greater ability to metabolise drugs (3A4 activity).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey elements and design rationale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel identity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stable GS-3A4-HepG2 Cell Line is supplied as an engineered cell line derived from Human liver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adherent, epithelial-like\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use of PriCoat™ T25 Flasks (G299) or Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) is required for cell adhesion to the culture vessels.

Previous studies have explored the cell lines use into bioartificial liver support systems. These systems are new technologies being developed to treat cases of liver damage where function needs to be supported during liver regeneration. The GS-3A4-HepG2 cell line may be particularly useful to metabolism drugs during long term experiments.
