Description

General description

The parental cells for SCC462 were isolated from a spontaneously occurring skin tumor in RET transgenic mice. The Ret oncogene was originally created by an accidental in vivo recombination of two human genes, Ret and RFP (TRIM27). SCC462, the mouse Ret-melanoma sorted (RMS) cell line, was created by engineering the isolated Ret-melanoma cells to express the puromycin resistance gene and the fluorescent reporter gene mCherry by retroviral transduction followed by fluorescence selection.

Application

• Each vial contains >1X10⁶ viable cells.
• sBT-RMS cells are verified to be of mouse origin and negative for human, rat, Chinese hamster, Golden Syrian hamster, and non-human primate interspecies contamination, as assessed by a Contamination Clear panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services
• Cells tested negative for infectious diseases against a Mouse Essential CLEAR panel by Charles River Animal Diagnostic Services.
• Cells tested negative for mycoplasma.

Features and Benefits

Unlike most existing preclinical model systems, SCC462 retains the capacity for spontaneous metastasis to the brain, the lungs, and other organs in immunocompetent mice following orthotopical inoculation by subdermal injection. SCC462 has been demononst

Target description

The RET oncogene was originally created by an accidental in vivo recombination of two human genes, RET and RFP (the RET-finger protein, known today as TRIM27), during a transformation of NIH3T3 cells with human lymphoma DNA (Takahashi 1985). The founder R

Storage and Stability

RMS cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen until use. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
