Human cell line showing stable expression of cytochromes P450

摘要

This invention relates to cell lines that are obtained using cultured cell lines derived from human liver as a host and that stably express a number of human cytochromes P450. The human liver-derived cultured cell lines of the present invention are useful in, for example, analyzing an enzyme participating in the metabolism of xenobiotics or endogenous substrates, because of their stable expression of human cytochromes P450 CYP1A1, 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C9, 2D6, and 3A4.
