- Description: The MEF RAF1 KO Cell Line allows in vivo study of Raf-1 knockout and Ras signalling and can be used to carry out drug screening toxicology studies. MEF are produced from the Raf-1+/- knockout mouse.
- Production details: Embryos were dissected and cut, washed several times with cold PBS and then incubated at 4ÄÂ?°C for 2 hours in 0.25% trypsin. Cells were incubated as per the growth conditions. Primary cells were immortalised and resulting cells grown out by continuous culture.
- Biosafety level: 1
- Cellosaurus id: CVCL_6D89
