Human Cervical Adenocarcinoma Cells (HeLa Line)

Human Cervical Adenocarcinoma Cells (HeLa Line)

Human cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa*) were immunofluorescently labeled with anti-tubulin primary mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to the cyanine dye, Cy2. The culture was counterstained for DNA with Hoechst 33258, and for the cytoskeletal F-actin network with Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin.

*Although it became one of the most important cell lines in medical research, it’s imperative that we recognize Henrietta Lacks’ contribution to science happened without her consent. This injustice, while leading to key discoveries in immunology, infectious disease, and cancer, also raised important conversations about privacy, ethics, and consent in medicine.
