Abstract excerpt
The MDCK cell line has been used as a model for the renal distal tubule. When grown on permeable supports, the cells form tight junctions and transport sodium and calcium. Widely different values have, however, been obtained for resistance and transports by different investigators. Since the MDCK cell line is genetically heterogeneous, one potential reason for observed differences is the use of different...
