Tool sub type: Hybrid cell line
Research Fields: Disease (not cancer)
Organism: Rat
Tissue: Pancreas

Product description: A hybrid cell line formed by the electrofusion of a primary culture of NEDH rat pancreatic islets with RINm5F (a cell line derived from a NEDH rat insuliinoma). BRIN-BG5 has been shown to be tumourigenic when transplanted into a SCID mouse host. The cell line has applications in the study of pancreatic beta cell function as they showed insulin output 5–10 times greater than parent RINm5F cells
CRISPR: No
Parental cell line: RINm5F cell line
Model description: Hybrid cell line formed by the electrofusion of a primary culture of NEDH rat pancreatic islets with RINm5F (a cell line derived from a NEDH rat insuliinoma)
