Loss of FADS2 function severely impairs the use of HeLa cells as an in vitro model for host response studies involving fatty acid effects.

Established epithelial cell lines equipped with pattern recognition receptors such as the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 are common tools for immune response studies on invading pathogens, e.g. the obligate intracellular species of Chlamydia. Moreover, such models are widely used to elucidate fatty acid...
