Beschreibung

Ursprung der Zelllinie

Indian Muntjac skin fibroblast

Beschreibung der Zelllinie

The cell line IMT 9 has been derived from the non-transformed skin fibroblast cell line Indian Muntjac (Sigma product no. 90112813). Transformation was achieved by continuous exposure to low-level cadmium (5 μM) and a short non-toxic single dose of methyl-nitroso urethane (MNU, 24 h at 0.1μm). Exposure to cadmium led to the establishment of SCR5 (ECACC product no. 95071120); the MNU treatment of SCR5 cells followed by tumour formation in a nude mouse gave rise to the cell line IMT9. IMT9 is highly tumourigenic whereas SCR5 expresses a low tumour level. The cells have been eradicated from mycoplasma at ECACC.
