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).

N4TG3 (mouse, A/Jax, neuroblastoma)

SPECIES: mouse, A/Jax
TUMOR: neuroblastoma

DSMZ catalog code: ACC 101
Morphology: flat cell body, slightly adherent, occasionally with short processes
Description: mouse neuroblastoma 6-thioguanine resistant mutant of cell line N4 that was established from a mouse of strain A/Jax with neuroblastoma C1300; cells were described to form increased levels of cAMP in response to prostaglandin E1 which is inhibited by opiate receptors; cells are aneuploid (modal chromosome number of 86) confirmed as mouse with IEF of MDH, NP, PEP B
Viruses: ELISA. reverse transcriptase positive
Depositor: Dr. B. Hamprecht, Physiologisch-Chemisches Institut, Tuebingen, Germany
