Establishment of Conditionally Immortalized Mouse Glomerular Parietal Epithelial Cells in Culture
2 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Parietal epithelial cells (PEC) are major constituents of crescents in crescentic glomerulonephritis. The purpose of these studies was to establish an immortalized PEC cell line with similar characteristics to PEC in vivo for use in future mechanistic studies. Glomeruli were isolated from H-2Kb tsA58 transgenic mice (ImmortoMouse) by standard differential sieving, and several candidate PEC cell lines were...
