Hep 3B is a human hepatoma cell line originally derived from liver tissue obtained from an 8-year-old Black patient with liver cancer.
These cells harbor an integrated hepatitis B virus genome and display an epithelial morphology. Notably, Hep3B cells possess tumorigenic properties in nude mice. Chromosomally, they maintain an average of 60 chromosomes per cell, with a predominant subtetraploid mode of 82. In terms of gene expression, this cell line exhibits the production of various proteins including alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), albumin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, alpha-1-antitrypsin, transferrin, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, plasminogen complement (C3, C4), C3 activator, fibrinogen, alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, beta-lipoprotein, and retinol-binding protein.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
The Hep 3B cell line serves as a vital tool in biomedical research, particularly in elucidating the intricate relationship between HBV infection and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Additionally, these cells find widespread utility in drug metabolism and hepatotoxicity studies, offering insights into the effects of various compounds on the liver. Furthermore, Hep3B cells are valuable for investigating plasma protein biosynthesis and studying the interplay between the hepatitis B virus genome and tumorigenicity, making them indispensable for a range of experimental models and scientific inquiries.
