Product 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
Conditional: Yes
Production details: MEF from Trex1-/- knockout mouse
Cellosaurus ID: CVCL_5A06
disease: Trex1-deficient Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome
Format: Frozen
Storage conditions: Vapor phase of liquid nitrogen. Storage at -70° C will result in loss of viability.
Shipping conditions: Dry ice
