U-2 OS-Luc

U-2 OS Luciferase Cell Line engineered for stable, high-efficiency expression of the luciferase gene.This advanced tool delivers exceptionally high imaging quality and precise, quantifiable luminescence, ensuring your data is both robust and publication-ready.
Designed for versatility, the U-2 OS Luciferase Cell Line seamlessly adapts to a broad spectrum of applications—from promoter activity assays and mammalian two-hybrid studies to sophisticated in vivo imaging.
U-2 OS cell line was established in 1964 by Ponten·J and Saksela·E from a moderately differentiated sarcoma of the tibia in a 15-year-old girl. No viruses were detected in U-2 OS cells co-cultured with WI-38 cells or using complement fixation tests (CF method) against simian vacuolating virus SV40, respiratory syncytial virus RSV, or adenovirus. U-2 OS cells express insulin-like growth factor I and II (IGF-I, IGF-II) receptors and osteosarcoma-derived growth factor (*ODGF).
