EB2 NTCC®人源伯基特淋巴瘤细胞株Human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line

BioVector NTCC Inc.

Origin and Characteristics:

• Derived from Burkitt's lymphoma: The EB2 cell line originated from a patient with Burkitt's lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects B lymphocytes (a type of immune cell).

• Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive: These cells are infected with EBV, a common human virus associated with various diseases, including Burkitt's lymphoma.

• Lymphoblastoid: EB2 cells are lymphoblastoid, meaning they resemble immature lymphocytes in appearance.

• Distinct from EB1: EB2 is similar to another cell line called EB1, but it has some key differences:

  • Larger and less uniform cells

  • Faster growth rate

  • Tendency to form clumps

  • More cytoplasm and less rounded nucleus

  • Presence of microvilli (small projections on the cell surface)

  
  

Applications in Research:

• Studying EBV: EB2 cells are widely used to study EBV infection, including how the virus infects cells, replicates, and contributes to the development of diseases.

• Investigating Burkitt's lymphoma: These cells help researchers understand the mechanisms underlying Burkitt's lymphoma and identify potential therapeutic targets.

• Analyzing B cell biology: EB2 cells can be used to study B cell activation, differentiation, and other processes.

• Developing antiviral drugs: These cells can be used to test the effectiveness of new drugs that target EBV infection
