Cell Line Origin
Mouse mesothelioma cell line transfected with influenza haemagglutinin gene (HA)
Cell Line Description
AB-1 HA is a mouse mesothelioma cell line transfected with influenza haemagglutinin gene (HA). Mice (BALB/c strain, female, 6-8 weeks old) were exposed to crocidolite asbestos through intraperitoneal injection, resulting in tumour development. Cultures were established from malignant mesothelial cells obtained from ascites fluid. The resulting celll ine, designated AB-1 was transfected with influenza haemagglutinin gene (HA) in order to generate an endogenous tumour antigen. Cell Bank Australia reference number: CBA1374.
DNA Profile
Not specified
Culture Medium
Subculture Routine
Optimal split ratio 1:10 - 1:20 (seeding density 0.7 x 104 cells/cm2). Cells incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Harvest the cells using 0.05% Trypsin/EDTA at 37 °C for 5 min. Cells will require passaging twice weekly at this seeding density.
