BHK-21 Renal Fibroblasts (BHK-21)

BHK-21 cell line, also known as Baby Hamster Kidney cells, is a well-established cell line that was originally derived from the kidneys of baby Syrian golden hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus). BHK-21 cell line's unique characteristics, such as its ability to grow rapidly, adapt well to cell culture conditions, and be easily transfected with foreign DNA, make it a valuable model system for a wide range of experimental studies. Researchers have used BHK-21 cells to explore fundamental biological processes, elucidate disease mechanisms, and develop new therapies and vaccines.

BHK-21 cell line has played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of cell biology and molecular biology, paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries in various fields of research and contributing significantly to scientific and medical advancement.
