AL01 1 x106 cells/vial $3,600.00 Add to Cart
Highlights:

This HEK293-hACE2 cell line is derived from HEK293 cells by transducing lentivirus particles encoding human angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) gene. The cell line stably expresses hACE2 and is an excellent cell resource for in vitro drug screening and characterization against coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 virus.

  • Stable express of human ACE2
  • Ready-to-use in cell-based assays such as screening for inhibitors against human ACE2
  • Ideal tool for antibody neutralization assay against SAR-CoV-2 virus

Description:

Human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) is an enzyme on the cell membranes of cell in multiple organs such as lungs, heart, kidney, arteries and intestines. It serves as a critical entry receptor for many coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, as well as SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19, a pandemic disease.

This HEK293-hACE2 cell line is derived from HEK293 cells by transducing lentivirus particles encoding human ACE2 gene. The cell line stably expresses hACE2 and is an excellent cell resource for in vitro drug screening and characterization against coronaviruses includingSARS-CoV-2 virus.
