Abstract excerpt
To facilitate investigations of the regulation of adult Sertoli cell function, we have established a Sertoli cell line from sexually mature Sprague-Dawley rats. The cells were immortalized with the temperature-sensitive mutant of the SV40 virus, tsA255. The tsA255 large T antigen is heat-labile and efficiently promotes propagation of cells at 33 degrees C (permissive temperature) but is inactive at 40 degrees C...
