Contributor Information
- Name Paul Harrison
- Institute Cancer Research UK, Glasgow: The Beatson Institute
Tool Details
- Tool name: D38 Cell Line
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Organism: Human
- Tissue: Tongue
- Cancer type: Dysplasia; Leukoplakia
- Disease: Cancer
- Model: Tumour line
- Conditional: No
- Description: D38 Cell Line is derived from a leukoplakia biopsy. The cell line was notable in its proliferative capacity, considered immortal after having completed more than 100 PDs (population doublings ) when maintained on a feeder layer of irradiated 3T3 fibroblasts. D38 was categorised as having a mild dysplasia pathology.
- Research area: Cancer; Drug Discovery & Development
- Production details: Biopsies were trypsinized and cultured until a growing population of cells was obtained in a 9-cm plate and then passaged once to give a stock culture that was frozen. All cells were maintained on irradiated 3T3 feeders, in 10H medium. The 3T3 feeder layer was removed by treatment with 0.02% EDTA prior to RNA and protein extraction.
- Cellosaurus ID: CVCL_HF99
- For Research Use Only
