title: Experiences with HEK293: A Human Cell Line.
abstract: The paper describes considerations taken with regard to a recombinant human cell line (HEK293) producing a therapeutic protein. When working with HEK293 cells, besides standard viral safety issues, special precautions should be taken because this cell line is susceptible to infection by numerous viruses. A viral contamination event occurred with this cell line even after a number of precautions were taken.
