CHO Cells
Chinese hamster ovary cells are derived from the ovary of a small rodent called the Chinese hamster. They are very similar to the human cell system, therefore CHO cells are used in biological and medical research. CHO cells are a very good choice for recombinant antibody production since they enable high quality production and high yield. Find here everything about cho cells and cell culture in general.

HEK293 cells vs. CHO cells
HEK cells, also known as HEK293, are human embryonic kidney cells which grow in tissue culture and represent a distinct immortalised cell line. Although HEK cells and CHO cells are both used to create antibodies and for therapeutic protein production, they differ in many aspects, which will be discussed later in this article.
