Features and Benefits

MDCK II - Madin-Darby canine kidney- is a subclone derived from the heterogenous parent line - MDCK (ECACC catalogue no. 85011435) MDCK II cells, which predominate in later passages from MDCK, are reported to display electrical resistance of 100 ohm/cm2. This strain is thought to be derived from the distal tubule or collecting duct of the nephron. The cell line can be used as an experimental model to study the generation and maintenance of cell surface polarity in epithelial cells.
The canine MDR1 (cP-gp) efflux transporter gene has been effectively disrupted in both alleles. There is no expression of the cP-gp. Human BCRP has been transfected into the MDCKII cell line. Validation studies have shown efflux of standard BCRP substrates.

Quality

Tested for Mycoplasma, sterility, post-freeze viability, short terminal repeat (STR) analysis for cell line identification.

Legal Information

MDCKII subclone was originally isolated by Daniel Louvard, Institut Curie, Paris France.

The glycosphingolipids (GSLs) of two sublines of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, an epithelial cell line, were characterized by t.l.c., antibody overlay and mass spectrometry. The major characteristic which distinguishes the two MDCK cell strains is their trans-epithelial electrical resistance
