Cell Name: Hep 3B

Derived from an 8 year old male. Cells contain integrated Hepatitis B virus genome. However there is currently no evidence that this cell line produces infectious Hepatitis B virus. The cells should be handled under laboratory containment level 2. Ethnicity: Black.

  • Description
    Hep 3B is a human hepatoma cell line originally derived from liver tissue obtained from an 8-year-old Black patient with liver cancer.Hep 3B, also known as Hep 3B2.1-7, is a human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line derived from the liver tissue of an 8-year-old Black male patient diagnosed with liver cancer. These cells exhibits epithelial-like morphology and display typical adherent culture properties in vitro. Crytogenetically, Hep3B cells possess an aneuploid karyotype with an average chromosomal count of 60. Notably, Hep 3B harbors an integrated hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome and expresses high levels of hepatocyte-associated markers including alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), albumin, and transferrin protein. Hep 3B is tumorigenic, and capable to form tumors in immunodeficient (nude) mice, undercoring its utility in cancer modeling.

  • Application
    Hep 3B cell line are a valuable resource for a broad spectrum of hepatology and oncology research s. They serve as a robust in vitro model for studying the molecular mechanisms of HBV-associated hepatocarcinogenesis, enabling researchers to explore the interplay between viral integration and tumor progression. Additionally, these cells is widely used in drug metabolism, hepatotoxicity studies, and the analysis of plasma protein biosynthesis, particularly in relation to liver-specific functions. Its tumorigenic properties and stable expression of liver-specific markers make these cells an indispensable platform for developing anticancer therapies, antiviral strategies, and understanding liver pathophysiology.
