I am working on some drugs for HSV. I am wondering what are the best heart, liver and kidney cells lines to evaluate cytotoxicity of my drug on heart, liver and kidney respectively?
You may use HEPG2 for liver and HEK293 for kidney. Make sure that you are not using the HEK293T or HEK293A for kidney as these have lenti and adenoviral components that are not needed.
Thank you very much for the information, Dr. Muruganandan. The information you provided is very helpful.
Actually, I have HEK 293T cell line and I have already experimented on these cell lines. I am wondering what will be the effect of lentiviral component on drug toxicity or efficacy?
