Humster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Single-celled hybrid of human and hamster

Ahumster is ahybrid cell line made from azona-free hamster oocyte fertilized with human sperm.^[1] It always consists of single cells, and cannot form a multi-cellular being. Humsters are usually destroyed before theydivide into two cells; if isolated and left alone to divide, they would still beunviable.^[2]

Humsters are routinely created mainly for two reasons:

To avoid legal issues with working with pure humanembryonic stem cell lines.
To assess the viability of human sperm forin vitro fertilization

Somatic cell hybrids between humans and hamsters or mice have been used for the mapping of various traits since at least the 1970s.^[3]
