Database
Cell Line Name(2)	CRL-2522
Species	Human
Type	Immotalized cell line
Original Tissue	Skin
Disease Status	Normal
Description	The line was established from skin taken from normal foreskin. The BJ cell line has a long lifespan in comparison with other normal human fibroblast cell lines. These cells have a reported normal diploid karyotype at population doubling 61 but an abnormal karyotype at population doubling 82. They are telomerase negative. BJ Cells from ATCC ampules have the capacity to proliferate to a maximum of 72 population doublings before the onset of senescence.
