Disclosure | This material is cited in a US or other Patent and may not be used to infringe the claims. Depending on the wishes of the Depositor, ATCC may be required to inform the Patent Depositor of the party to which the material was furnished. This material may not have been produced or characterized by ATCC. |
Derivation |
The cells were transfected with the pRSV-T plasmid (an SV40 ori- construct containing the SV40 early region and the Rous sarcoma virus long terminal repeat) and cloned. Mesothelial cells were isolated from pleural fluids obtained from non-cancerous individuals. |

Effects |
No, The cells were not tumorigenic in immunosuppressed mice, but did form colonies in semisolid medium.
|
Comments |
The cells stain positively for vimentin, keratins and SV40 T antigen. |
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is Medium 199 containing 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate.
To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 10% fetal bovine serum (final conc.)
3.3 nM epidermal growth factor (EGF) (final conc.) (do not filter). The trace elements at the following final concentrations:
