Cellosaurus FRTL-5 (CVCL_0265)

[Text version]
Cell line name FRTL-5
Synonyms FRTL 5; FRTL5; FRTL-5 Cl 2
Accession CVCL_0265
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: FRTL-5 (RRID:CVCL_0265)
Comments Group: Patented cell line.
Group: Space-flown cell line (cellonaut).
Problematic cell line: Probably misclassified/misidentified. ECACC has discontinued this cell line because it does not display the non-diploid karyotype originally reported therefore its authenticity cannot be assured.
Registration: International Depositary Authority, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC); CRL-8305.
Doubling time: 34 hours (CelloPub=CLPUB00429); 30 hours (PubMed=3670314).
Anecdotal: Have been flown in space on the ISS in 2005 to study the effect of UVC radiation (PubMed=21087161).
Derived from site: In situ; Thyroid gland; UBERON=UBERON_0002046.
Species of origin Rattus norvegicus (Rat) (NCBI Taxonomy: 10116)
Breed/subspecies: Fischer.
