CHO Cell Line from Chinese hamster ovary

CHO Cell Line from Chinese hamster ovary has been used:

• to generate CHO cells expressing LY6/PLAUR domain containing 3 (LYPD3)
• to carry out the vaginolysin (VLY) cytolytic activity assay
• as host cells to produce glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R)

Nutritional and gene expression studies

A subclone of the parental CHO cell line originated by Puck in 1957. The cells have an absolute requirement for L-proline.
