| Abstract |
Cell lines are cultures of animal cells that can be propagated repeatedly
and used as convenient alternatives to whole animals in research. The
aquaculture of Atlantic salmon is an economically important industry that
is looking to soybean meal as a cheap and readily available component for
feeds of the future, but soybean meal has been found to cause gut
inflammation, which restricts growth. Myofibroblasts regulate inflammation
so the availability of a cell line could allow the soybean components
responsible for inflammation to be identified and studied more quickly
than with fish. Towards this goal, we describe herein a cell line, with
characteristics of myofibroblasts, derived from the gut of Atlantic salmon.
