Description

Origine de la lignée cellulaire

Rat islet cell tumour

Description de la lignée cellulaire

Established from a transplantable pancreatic tumour of the islets of Langerhans. The tumour originated in an irradiated NEDH inhibited albino rat and was maintained by serial transplantation in Nedh rats. After transplantation into athymic nude mice the cell line RIN-m was established from the fourth nude mouse heterotransplant, 9 days after the tumour was removed cells were exposed to cystine-free medium resulting in the complete elimination of fibroblast-like cells. RIN-m cells secrete insulin and somatostatin. High levels of L-dopa-decarboxylase and membrane bound secretory granules were detected. RIN-5F (95090402) was established as a secondary clone from RIN-m.

Application

Study of biology of pancreatic islet cells, synthesis, storage and secretion of insulin and somatostatin
