Catalogue No.

Cell Line Name

Nthy-ts1

Cell Line Description

Normal primary cultures of human thyroid follicular cells were transfected with a plasmid containing the SV40 early region large T encoding gene from mutant tsA58. Tight temperature dependence for growth is observed: Nthy-ts1 cells grow at 33°C, but not at the restrictive temperature of 40.5°C. This SV40 mutant allows the study of oncogene action free of any interfering effects of SV40 large T antigen.

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.
