Tool Details
*FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY
- Name: MEF ULK1/2 WT(SV40) Cell Line
- Organism: Mouse
- Tissue: Embryo
- Disease: Cancer
- Growth properties: Autophagy
- Conditional: Yes
- Description: The MEF ULK1/2 WT cell line can be used as a wild-type control with ULK1 and ULK2 cell lines and is useful for studying ULK1-and ULK-2 dependent processes, including autophagy. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from a wild-type littermate to the ULK1 KO and immortalized with SV40 large T-antigen.
- Production details: Cells were derived from mouse embryos at E13.5. Embryos were decapitated and eviscerated and the remaining tissues were dissociated to obtain MEFs. This cell line is a primary cell line immortalized by SV40.
