Abstract excerpt
We have infected primary embryonic mouse limb chondrocytes with a retrovirus carrying simian virus 40 early regions and have obtained a monoclonal mouse chondrocyte line, MC615, that was able to grow on culture dishes for at least 7 months and 20 passages. MC615 cells show expression of simian virus 40 large T (tumor) antigen and express markers characteristic of cartilage in vivo, such as types II, IX, and XI...
