Introduction of HEK293

The origin of HEK293 cells can be traced back to 1973. It is an immortalized human embryonic kidney cell developed by transfection with sheared human adenovirus 5 (Ad5), which integrates the genes for adenovirus proteins E1A and E1B into its genome. The expression of the two proteins promotes the growth of HEK293 cells by regulating cell cycle and apoptosis, and can act as essential cofactors to increase the production of recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) particles, thus making them efficient "cell factories".

Since the establishment of the HEK293 cell line, it has been fully characterized and many unique derivative cell lines have been developed.
