Long Title: IUPAC Gold Book - stably transfected cells
DOI: 10.1351/goldbook.14193
Status: current

Definition
Eukaryotic cells into which recombinant DNA has been introduced and incorporated into the genome, so that the cells replicate the new DNA in a stable fashion.

Note
The biological material thus obtained is expected to show low variability and therefore increase assay reproducibility.
