QBI-HEK 293A Cells
Description
The QBI-HEK 293A cell line is an immortalized line of
primary human embryonic kidney cells transformed by sheared
human Ad5 DNA. QBI-HEK 293A cells, harboring the E1A and E1B
region of the adenoviral genome, complement in trans the deletion
of the E1 region in the recombinant adenovirus. Therefore,
the QBI-HEK 293A cell line is an excellent packaging cell
line for the generation of high titer recombinant adenovirus.
In addition, and contrary to other 293 cell lines, Qbiogene’s
QBI-HEK 293A cell line is a superior sub-clone of HEK 293
cells and strongly adheres to plastic dishes. QBI-HEK 293A
cells do not require any special plasticware as long as it
is treated for cell culture.
Furthermore, the QBI-HEK 293A cell line is very reliable,
performing extremely well in plaque assay and transfection
experiments.
QBI-HEK 293A cells are available in Qbiogene’s four
Adenoviral Vector Systems (AdenoVator™, AdEasy™,
Transpose-Ad™ and Adeno-Quest™) and serve as the
standard packaging cell line for our Custom Adenovirus Services.
These services are also available with our own RCA free (Replication
Competent Adenovirus free) cell line BMAdE1™
Advantages
- Superior sub-clone of 293A cells that adheres strongly
to plastic dishes
- Reliable post-crisis cell-line
- Grow easily
- Perform especially well in plaque assays and in transfection
protocols
- Ideal for the generation of helper independent recombinant
adenovirus
- Tested for the absence of mycoplasma

QBI-HEK 293CymRCells
Description
This cell line stably expresses the repressor protein
CymR under the control of the CMV5 promoter which makes them
ideal for application with the Q-mate™ Inducible Expression
System. In addition, this cell line contains the E1A and E1B
Adenovirus type 5 genes that complement these genes deleted
in a recombinant Adenovirus and is used for the generation
of recombinant Adenovirus.
Advantages
- Express stably the CymR repressor
- Grow easily
- Ideal for the generation of helper independent recombinant
adenovirus
- Contain the E1A and E1B Ad5 viral genes for complementation
of E1 deleted recombinant adenovirusIdeal for the generation
of helper independent recombinant adenovirus
- Tested for the absence of mycoplasma
