Cellosaurus TEX (CVCL_A5CF)

[Text version]
Cell line name TEX
Accession CVCL_A5CF
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: TEX (RRID:CVCL_A5CF)
Comments Characteristics: Expresses a transfected FUS-ERG (TLS-ERG) fusion protein. Mimics the features of primary human acute myeloid leukemia and of leukemia-initiating cells (LIC) and are more than 90% CD34+. Underwent step-wise transformation and immortalization through acquisition of additional genetic changes, such as expression of TERT, expression of LIC markers CD34, CD44 and CD123 and the stem cell gene BMI1 (PubMed=16094415; PubMed=22160482).
Genetic integration: Method=Transfection/transduction; Gene=HGNC; HGNC:3446; ERG (Note=FUS-ERG fusion).
