eGFP/Firefly Luciferase JeKo-1 Cell Line
The eGFP/Firefly Luciferase JeKo-1 Cell Line is a JeKo-1 cell line expressing firefly luciferase and enhanced GFP (eGFP) driven by an EF1a promoter, generated by transduction with Firefly Luciferase-eGFP lentivirus (BPS Bioscience #78741), which is a SIN0 self-inactivating lentivirus).

The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
The JeKo-1 mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cell line was isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a 78-year-old female with a large cell variant of MCL showing leukemic conversion. The JeKo-1 cells are highly tumorigenic in SCID mice and have applications in immunology research. These cells overexpress cyclin D1, Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2), c-Myc and Rb proteins. A Bcl-1/J(H) gene rearrangement was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. JeKo-1 cells are negative for Epstein-Barr virus and express IgM, a B-cell phenotype. The presence of eGFP and luciferase allow for easy assay readouts, making this cell line a convenient choice.
