Cellosaurus OP6 (CVCL_WI57)

[Text version]
Cell line name OP6
Synonyms OP-6; Olfactory Placode 6
Accession CVCL_WI57
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: OP6 (RRID:CVCL_WI57)
Comments Characteristics: At the permissive temperature of 33 Celsius express a transcriptional profile representing intermediate-late developmental stages in the olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) lineage. At the non-permissive temperature of 39 Celsius can be induced by all-trans retinoic acid to differentiate into a population of mature bipolar olfactory receptor neuron-like cells (CelloPub=CLPUB00748; PubMed=12093156).
Doubling time: 99 hours (Note=At 33 Celsius) (CelloPub=CLPUB00748; PubMed=12093156).
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P00552; Klebsiella pneumoniae transposon Tn5 neo.
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=UniProtKB; P03070; Simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen.
Transformant: NCBI_TaxID; 1891767; Simian virus 40 (SV40) (Note=tsA58).
Caution: PubMed=10630978 incorrectly describes this cell line as originating from a mouse neuroblastoma.
Derived from site: In situ; Olfactory placode; UBERON=UBERON_0003050.
Species of origin Mus musculus (Mouse) (NCBI Taxonomy: 10090)
Breed/subspecies: C3H.
Sex of cell Sex unspecified
Age at sampling 10-11FD
Category Conditionally immortalized cell line
