WI-38 VA13 subline 2RA Human embryonic lung cells (SV40-transformed)

WI-38 VA13 subline 2RA cells are a cloned subline of the fibroblast line WI-38 isolated from the lung tissue of a Caucasian female patient, originally derived from lung tissue of a three-month-old fetus. Achieving cell immortality represents a key advancement in cell culture technology. The original WI-38 cell line is crucial for developing vaccines for many viral diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella, and hepatitis C. VA13 Subline 2RA is the immortalized cell line of this cell line, achieved through Simian virus 40 transformation.
