Active Motif's Jurkat nuclear extract (TPA + CI stimulated) was prepared from cell cultures of the Jurkat human CD4(+) T cell lymphoblast-like cell line. The Jurkat cell line was established from the propagation of peripheral blood cells of a 14 year old boy with T cell leukemia. These cells are primarily used in research as a T cell model system, particularly in studies of T cell signaling, T cell leukemia, and response to viral infection. Jurkat cells are frequently used in HIV-related research to examine the mechanisms governing T cell-mediated immunity in response to HIV infection. Stimulation of these cells with phorbol esters, such as 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and either lectins, such as phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) or […] For more information, please visit: https://www.activemotif.com/catalog/details/36013.
