Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: PTK6 is an intracellular src-related tyrosine kinase that regulates differentiation in the intestine, where knockout animals have increased proliferative activity and growth characteristics. To explore the phenotype further we attempted to establish epithelial cell lines from the intestinal mucosa. METHOD: We mated Ptk6 null mice with a tsSV40 large T transgenic mouse (Immortomouse) to obtain...
