Cell Line Name

FM3Ats C1.T85

Cell Line Description

A temperature sensitive mutant isolated from the mouse mammary cell carcinoma cell line, FM3A (ECACC catalogue no. 87100804). Cells will not divide at 39°C (non-permissive temperature) and will grow at 33°C (permissive temperature). Electron microscope findings have shown that chromatin abnormally condenses into fragmented and compact forms in 80% of the cells at 39°C for 16 hours. This abnormal condensation does not occur at 33°C or in the FM3A cell line at either temperature.

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.
