Luciferase HepG2 Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells (HepG2-Luc)

HepG2-Luc cell line is a specific cell line that has been genetically modified to express luciferase, a bioluminescent reporter enzyme. The HepG2 cell line itself is derived from human hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer) and has been widely used in cancer research and drug development. By introducing the luciferase reporter gene into HepG2 cells, researchers can monitor tumor growth, metastasis, and response to treatments using bioluminescence imaging techniques.

The development of the HepG2-Luc cell line has provided a valuable tool for studying liver cancer biology, tumor progression, and response to various therapeutic interventions. The ability to track tumor growth in real-time using bioluminescence imaging facilitates longitudinal studies and allows for precise evaluation of treatment outcomes in preclinical models.
