Biochem/physiol Actions
Human thyroid follicular mutant epithelial
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.
Preparation Note
RPMI 1640 + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 33°C.
