[Text version]
Cell line name RT4-54
Synonyms RT4-D6P2T clone 54
Accession CVCL_D3XY
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: RT4-54 (RRID:CVCL_D3XY)
Comments Characteristics: Expression of NF2 is doxycycline-inducible as the parent cell line was transfected with reverse tetracycline-controlled transactivator (rtTA), a fusion between a mutated version of E.coli TetR and the activating domain of HSV-1 VP16 (PubMed=11316791).
