A9HT

Catalogue No.

88042804

Cell Line Name

A9HT

Cell Line Description

This cell line was selected by passaging A9 (ECACC catalogue no. 85011426) through syngenic C3H or semi allogenic mice over a period of three months and uptake was considerably higher than A9, thus A9 high uptake or A9HT. Karyotype is similar to A9 but with a slightly reduced total number of chromosomes, with the modal number of 53. This line lacks inosinic acid pyrophosphorylase.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
