HaK Syrian hamster kidney cells

Although HaK cells originally originated from the normal kidneys of Syrian hamsters, they can cause tumors in all animals, and the HaK tumors have metastasized to multiple sites, with histological features of adenocarcinoma. When frozen in our library, it was P97 (this generation is the exact number since the cell line was established).
