Parental Cell Lines
Signosis offers some of the parental (Host) cells used for generating its stable cell lines. These cell lines can be used as a matched control for their related stable cell lines. All cell lines tested negative for mycoplasma.
Principle
A parental cell line is a group of cells that are derived from the same source or organism and are used as a starting point for creating different cell lines. Parental cell lines are often used in biomedical research and drug development to establish a baseline or control group for comparison purposes.
​
Parental cell lines can also be used to produce biologics, such as monoclonal antibodies or recombinant proteins, which are used as therapeutics. In this case, the parental cell line serves as the foundation for the production of these products.
