Human Cervical Adenocarcinoma Cells (HeLa Line)

Human Cervical Adenocarcinoma Cells (HeLa Line)

HeLa cervical carcinoma epithelial cells were transfected with an EGFP vector containing the peroxisomal targeting signal 1 (PTS1) fusion protein. Stable transfectants were isolated and subsequently labeled with MitoTracker Red CMXRos before being counterstained with Hoechst 33342. The specimen was imaged using a scanning confocal microscope equipped with an argon-ion and a helium-neon laser (488 and 543 nanometer excitation wavelengths, respectively).
