Tool Details
- Tool name: Pr8/22 Cell Line
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Tool sub-type: Continuous
- Parental cell line: P388
- Organism: Mouse
- Tissue: Lymphatic Tissue
- Cancer type: Digestive / Gastrointestinal cancer
- Disease: Cancer
- Growth properties: Suspension
- Model: Tumour line
- Conditional: No
- Description: The cell line Pr8/22 has been derived from P388, a methylcholanthrene-induced lymphoid neoplasm originating in DBA/2 mouse and converted to ascitic form in the first mouse transfer. Pr8/22 is resistant to daunorubicin and is multi drug resistant (MDR). Cells should be treated with the drug at least once a month and before freezing, however after resuscitating daunorubicin should not be added until the first passage. It is advisable to keep a backup culture which is not drug-challenged.
