Model | Reporter |
Relevance | The human histone H2B gene was fused to the gene encoding the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and transfected into human HeLa cells to generate a stable line constitutively expressing H2B-GFP. The H2B-GFP fusion protein was incorporated into nucleosomes without affecting cell cycle progression. The cell line allows high-resolution imaging of both mitotic chromosomes and interphase chromatin. |
Research Area | Cell Cycle, Cell Type or Organelle Marker, Cell Structure and Motility, DNA Damage and Repair, Genetic Studies Tools |
Recommended Growing Conditions | DMEM, 10% FBS, 5% CO2, 37oC. Antibiotic resistance for selection of GFP positive cells: 4μg/mL Blasticidine, expression of GFP is quite stable but selecting at least every two passages is recommended. |
