FRhK-4 Rhesus Monkey Embryonic Kidney Cells

The FRhK-4 cell line is derived from the kidney tissue of normal female embryos of 300g rhesus monkeys. The cell line is a continuous epithelial cell-like cell line and has been used for hepatitis A research in several laboratories. It was put into storage after identification without mycoplasma.
