Description

Application

Investigation of the properties of malignant mesothelioma cells and the development of new diagnostic methods.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mice (BALB/c female 6-8 weeks) were exposed to crocidolite asbestos through intraperitoneal injection resulting in tumour development. Cultures were established from malignant mesothelial cells obtained from ascites fluid. Cells are tumourigenic in syngeneic immunocompetent mice. Cell Bank Australia reference number: CBA0146

Mouse malignant mesothelioma
