IMR-90/GFP-firefly luciferase stable cells

IMR-90 cells are diploid normal lung fibroblast cells, isolated from fetal lung, the cells can be used as control cells for cancer research. This cell line is described in the paper by Nichols, et al. Characterization of a New Human Diploid Cell Strain, IMR-90 Author(s):  Science , Apr. 1, 1977, New Series, Vol. 196, No. 4285 (Apr. 1, 1977), pp. 60-63.  . 4285 (Apr. 1, 1977), pp. 60-63.  Please note that the cells have limited life span, and will gradually lose its growth ability. The cells have gone through some passages for the lentivirus transduction and positive cell selection although we tried to limit subculture passages as few as possible.  IMR-90/GFP-firefly luciferase stable cells express GFP-firefly luciferase under the control of the constitutive promoter. These cells can be used for in vitro and in vivo imaging, allowing to follow these cells in real time and use as cancer cells in vivo imaging control.
