NCI-H1299, also known as H1299 or CRL-5803, is commonly used as a transfected host for various biomedical applications. NCI-H1299 cells exhibit an epithelial cell morphology and produce neurofibrillary. Furthermore, NCI-H1299 cells are positive for keratin and poikilitic, but negative for neurofilaments. Similar to other immortalized cell lines, NCI-H1299 cells lack p53 protein expression. Thus they can divide and proliferate indefinitely. Studies have shown that NCI-H1299 cells can synthesize NMB protein but not gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP). Therefore, NCI-H1299 cells are suitable to use in lung cancer research. In BOC Sciences, we offer transfection reagents for the study of NCI-H1299 cell lines to our customers.
