JY cell line

The JY cell line is an Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-immortalised B cell lymphoblastoid line. JY cells express HLA class-I A2 and class-II DR. JY is a suspension cell line, although the cells are known to grow in clumps. The growth medium is RPMI 1640, 10% fetal calf serum and 1% L-glutamine.{{cite web|publisher=Public Health England|url=https://www.phe-culturecollections.org.uk/products/celllines/hlatyped/detail.jsp?refId=94022533&collection=ecacc_hlad|title=ECACC HLA-Typed Collection: JY|access-date=28 June 2018}} JY cells are positive for murine leukemia virus.{{cite journal|title=Detection of murine leukemia virus in the Epstein-Barr virus-positive human B-cell line JY, using a computational RNA-Seq-based exogenous agent detection pipeline, PARSES.|journal=Journal of Virology|first1=Z|last1=Lin|display-authors=etal|volume=86|issue=6|date=March 2012|pages=2970–2977 |doi=10.1128/JVI.06717-11|pmid=22238296|pmc=3302299}}
