Medical Definition of COS cell

1. A cell line derived from the african green monkey and used for transfection and cloning. The cells are simian fibroblasts (CV 1 cells) transformed by SV40 that is deficient in the origin of replication region. They express large T antigen constitutively and if transfected with a vector containing a normal SV40 origin have all the other early viral genes necessary to generate multiple copies of the vector and thus to give very high levels of expression.
