Entry term(s) células de ovario del hámster chino
Scope note: Línea celular derivada del ovario del hámster chino, Cricetulus griseus. La especie es una favorita para los estudios citogenéticos debido a su pequeño número de cromosomas. La línea celular ha brindado sistemas modelos para el estudio de las alteraciones genéticas en células cultivadas de mamíferos.
