This is the complete description of the cell line that you selected. By clicking on a generic term (e.g., SPECIES) you will go to the corresponding index (e.g., index of species), while by clicking on a specific term (e.g., retinoblastoma) you will go to the list of corresponding cell lines (e.g., retionoblastoma cell lines).

N18TG2 (mouse, A/Jax, neuroblastoma)

SPECIES: mouse, A/Jax
TUMOR: neuroblastoma

DSMZ catalog code: ACC 103
Morphology: round, single, slightly adherent cells, occasionally with short processes
Description: mouse neuroblastoma 6-thioguanine resistant mutant of cell line N18 that was established from a mouse of strain A/Jax with neuroblastoma C1300; cells were described to form cAMP in response to prostaglandin E1 and to be aneuploid (modal chromosome number of 81) confirmed as mouse with IEF of AST, MDH, NP, PEP B
