RMS RET Melanoma-sorted Mouse Cell Line

The RET oncogene was originally created by an accidental in vivo recombination of two human genes, RET and RFP (the RET-finger protein, known today as TRIM27), during a transformation of NIH3T3 cells with human lymphoma DNA (Takahashi 1985). The founder R

The parental cells for SCC462 were isolated from a spontaneously occurring skin tumor in RET transgenic mice. The Ret oncogene was originally created by an accidental in vivo recombination of two human genes, Ret and RFP (TRIM27). SCC462, the mouse Ret-melanoma sorted (RMS) cell line, was created by engineering the isolated Ret-melanoma cells to express the puromycin resistance gene and the fluorescent reporter gene mCherry by retroviral transduction followed by fluorescence selection.

Unlike most existing preclinical model systems, SCC462 retains the capacity for spontaneous metastasis to the brain, the lungs, and other organs in immunocompetent mice following orthotopical inoculation by subdermal injection. SCC462 has been demononst

RMS cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen until use. The cells can be cultured for at least 10 passages after initial thawing without significantly affecting the cell marker expression and functionality.
