DescriptionTC28a2 Human Chondrocyte Cell Line
OverviewThe chondrocyte is the only specialized cell type present in articular cartilage. They produce secretions to support and repair the cartilage matrix. Human chondrocytes in mature articular cartilage are post-mitotic and terminally differentiated cells. Studies on human chondrocytes have been hampered by the difficulty in obtaining sufficient numbers of primary human chondrocytes from a single joint and by variabilities among donors due to factors such as age and medical conditions.

T/C-28a2 cell line was established by transfecting primary cultures (day 5) of costal cartilage from a 15-year-old female with a retroviral vector expressing simian virus SV40 large T antigen.
