CELL LINES

Contributor Information
- Name Chris Marshall
- Institute Cancer Research UK, London Research Institute: Lincoln's Inn Fields
Tool Details
- Tool name: 3.334 SC5/8 Cell Line
- Tool type: Cell Lines
- Tool sub-type: Continuous
- Parental cell line: 3T3TK3 cells and normal rat kidney cells
- Organism: Hybrid
- Tissue: Fibroblast
- Growth properties: Adherent
- Model: Tumour line
- Conditional: No
- Description: Hybrid between un-transformed mouse 3T3TK3 cells and normal rat kidney cells transformed with RSV. The hybrid cells express a non-transformed phenotype. The cells exhibit anchorage-independent growth at 35C but not at 39.5C, the non-permissive temperature and showed differences in microfilament bundle formation at both temperatures.
- Research area: Adhesion; Cell Structure and Motility

- Additional notes: Rat x Mouse hybrid
- For Research Use Only
