Cellosaurus (CVCL_3842)
| Comments | Registration: International Depositary Authority, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC); CRL-9518. Biotechnology: Used for mutation assays to predict the carcinogenic potential of chemicals. Allows the quantitation of forward mutations at the thymidine kinase (TK) locus. These TK heterozygous cells are treated with a range of doses of the test substance. The cells are incubated, washed free of tests substance and allowed time for the phenotypic expression of newly induced mutations (PubMed=1093012; PubMed=3416837; PubMed=4360720; PubMed=7329431). Doubling time: ~10 hours (Note=Lot 02052008) (JCRB=JCRB0709.1). Transformant: ChEBI; CHEBI_34342; 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC; 20-methylcholanthrene; 20-MC; MCA). Derived from site: In situ; Thymus; UBERON=UBERON_0002370. Cell type: T-cell; CL=CL_0000084. |
