Raji cell culture.

Raji is the first continuous human

hematopoietic origin.[1] The Raji cell line is widely used as a transfection host.[2]

Raji cells were derived from the

R.J.V. Pulvertaft and was further worked on by B.O. Osunkoya (University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria).[3][4]

The Raji cell line is categorized as lymphoblast-like. The culture medium used to grow Raji cells is

ribosomes which tend to clump.[5] Raji cells grow as single, non-motile, free-floating (non-adhesion) individuals or doublets to glass. Some cells look elongated, pear-shaped with larger, multinucleate, round cells.[5]

The Raji cell line produces an unusual strain of

lymphoblastoid
in morphology.
