Abstract excerpt
This study summarizes the properties of rabbit renal tubule cell lines transformed by the simian virus 40 (SV40). By infection with the wild type SV40, it was possible to establish three different cell lines exhibiting the main functions of proximal (RC.SV1), thick ascending limb-distal (RC.SV2), and collecting (RC.SV3) tubules. Another cell line infected with a thermosensitive mutant of SV40 (RC.SVtsA58) was...
