Takara, 632617, Gesicle Producer 293T Cell Line

The Gesicle Producer 293T Cell Line is a subclone of the transformed human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK 293, which is highly transfectable and supports high levels of protein expression. The cell line also constitutively expresses the simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen. Gesicles are produced in these cells via co-overexpression of packaging mix components, which include a nanovesicle-inducing glycoprotein and a protein that is displayed on the cell surface and mediates binding and fusion with the cellular membrane of target cells. Simultaneous overexpression of another protein cargo can result in incorporation of that protein within the gesicles. When combined with a gesicle production system, these cells are capable of producing high gesicle yields.
