Descripción

Cell Line Origin

Mouse pancreatic small cell anaplastic carcinoma

Cell Line Description

TGP 55 has been obtained from a small cell anaplastic carcinoma arising in the pancreas of a transgenic Tg(Ela-1SV40E)Bri 18 mouse these mice carry a pseudogene construct composed of a pancreatic-specific elastase-1 promoter linked to the coding region for SV40 T antigen and thereby represent an animal model for pancreatic carcinogenesis. TGP 55 cells are SV40T antigen positive and secrete somatostatin, it is one of a series of cell lines isolated from pancreatic tumours deposited at ECACC. Cells secrete somatostatin and insulin in culture. Adherent clumps of small cells.

Application

Study of exocrine pancreas carcinomas, hormone secretion studies.

Culture Medium

DMEM:Ham′s F12 (1:1) + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (Heat Inactivated).
