Tool Details
- Tool name: CMT 64/61 Cell Line
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Organism: Mouse
- Tissue: Lung
- Cancer type: Lung carcinoma; Metastatic
- Disease: Cancer
- Growth properties: Tumorigenesis, adherent
- Model: Tumour line
- Conditional: Yes
- Description: The tumourigenic and metastatic CMT 64/61 murine cell line is derived from an alveologenic lung carcinoma of a C57BL/1CRF mouse. It can be maintained in a completely defined serum free medium, but the growth rate is much slower than in supplemented serum. It has been used in studies of lung metastases.
- Research area: Cancer; Drug Discovery & Development
- Production details: Mouse; CMT 64 isolated from primary alveogenic lung carcinoma tumour mass in C57BL/lcrf mouse, achieving stable morphology and growth rate in culture, similar to growth rate and morphology in primary tumour, and in lung metastasis induced after subcutaneous innoculation of mice.
- Cellosaurus ID: CVCL_4146
- For Research Use Only
