Abstract excerpt
Immortalization of cell lines with specific functions is important for examination of organ-specific functions in vitro. We established a kidney tubule cell line (TKC2) exhibiting a specific physiological response to hormone from the primary culture of kidneys of adult transgenic mice harboring temperature-sensitive SV40 large T-antigen gene. TKC2 cells showed temperature-sensitive growth in culture and exhibited...
