The 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-28/I2 is a clonal line derived from the nonclonal T/C-28a4 cells which were immortalized via retroviral vector-mediated simian virus SV40 Large T antigen (Tag) expression.
Synonyms: C-28/I2
