Fully differentiated Type-II alveolar epithelial cell line derived from transgenic H-2Kb-tsA58 mice capable of being passaged as an immortalised cloned cell line in culture. Cells will proliferate at 33 - 35°C in the presence of gamma-interferon, at 39°C in the absence of gamma-interferon cells will terminally differentiate. Supplied as frozen ampoules only.
Mouse Type-II lung epithelial cell
