- Name: MEF Trex1 KO Cell Line
- Research fields: Genetics;Immunology
- Organism: Mouse
- Tissue: Embryo
- Disease: Trex1-deficient Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome
- Growth properties: Defective G1/S transition, increased cell doubling time; chronic ATM-dependent checkpoint activation even in the absence of exogenous stress; persistant ssDNA polynucleotide species generated in S phase that accumulates in the cytoplasm.
- Model: Knock-Out
- Conditional: Yes
- Description: The Trex1 KO MEF cell line is a spontaneously transformed mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell line. It allows the study of novel interconnections between DNA replication, DNA damage checkpoint signalling and antiviral-like autoimmune responses. Recapitulates cellular phenotype of Trex1-deficient Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. Spontaneously transformed clone derived following repeated passaging in culture by standard techniques of primary MEFs from Trex1-/- knockout mouse
