Brain tissue removed from an albino house mouse (Mus musculus) with neuroblastoma was first used to establish the Neuro-2a cell line. These cells exhibit amoeboid and neuronal stem cell morphology, they also produce a bountiful amount of microtubular protein within the body. This cell line is good as a transfection host, as it is susceptible to the human polio virus 1, vesicular stomatitis virus and the herpes simplex virus. Altogen Biosystems manufactures a transfection reagent for Neuro-2a that meticulously targets the neuroblastoma cells for further research of carcinogenic brain tumors.
