Hepg2 cell line human

Manufactured by Merck Group

Sourced in United States

The HepG2 cell line is a well-characterized human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line that is commonly used in research. It is derived from the liver tissue of a 15-year-old Caucasian male. The HepG2 cell line is known for its ability to maintain many of the specialized functions of normal human hepatocytes, making it a useful model for studying liver biology and disease.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
