Description

Cell Line Origin

Mouse BALB/c Leydig cell testicular tumour

Cell Line Description

Derived from a Leydig cell testicular tumour of a BALB/c mouse. The cells secrete steroids; this increases at saturation density. Secretion should be retained for over 50 passages. Exposure to 0.00001M cAMP stimulates secretion 4-5 fold. The major products are progesterone and its derivative 20 α-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one. It does not respond to interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH) but is stimulated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP).

Application
