      DescriptionC20A4 Human Chondrocyte Cell Line
      OverviewThe chondrocyte is the only specialized cell type present in articular cartilage. They produce secretions to support and repair the cartilage matrix. Human chondrocytes in mature articular cartilage are post-mitotic and terminally differentiated cells. Studies on human chondrocytes have been hampered by the difficulty in obtaining sufficient numbers of primary human chondrocytes from a single joint and by variabilities among donors due to factors such as age and medical conditions.

      C-20/A4 cell line was established by transfecting primary cultures of rib chondrocytes from a 5-year-old male with vectors expressing origin-defective simian virus SV40 large T antigen.
