|---|---|
| 商品货号: | TS211033 |
| Organism: | Rattus norvegicus, rat |
| Tissue: | pituitary, anterior |
| Product Format: | frozen |
| Morphology: | epithelial |
| Culture Properties: | adherent |
| Biosafety Level: | 1
Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country. |
| Disease: | adenoma |
| Age: | 3 years |
| Gender: | male |
| Storage Conditions: | liquid nitrogen vapor phase |
| Derivation: | This line was carried continuously in culture for 5 years before it was sucesssfully cryopreserved. |
| Clinical Data: | male |
| Receptor Expression: | gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) |
| Genes Expressed: | luteinizing hormone beta (LH); growth hormone (GH); follicle stimulating hormone beta (FSH); prolactin; adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH); thyrotropin beta |
| Cellular Products: | luteinizing hormone beta (LH); growth hormone (GH); follicle stimulating hormone beta (FSH); prolactin; adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH); thyrotropin beta |
| Comments: | The line contains cells producing LH, GH, FSH, prolactin, ACTH and thyrotropin beta (hormone production was tested using cells that were grown in medium containing Nu-serum rather than fetal bovine serum).
GnRH receptors are about 2 fold lower in number than on normal pituitary.
The cells contain numerous electron dense secretory granules, golgi complexes, and extended arrays of rough endoplasmic reticulum as well as endogenous rat C-type retrovirus particles.
|
