C2C12 Cell Line from mouse

C2C12 Cell Line has been used to study the the expression of OXT and OXTR (oxytocin and its receptor) genes and proteins and in differentiation studies.

Mouse C3H muscle myoblast

Subclone from myoblast line established from normal adult C3H mouse leg muscle. Differentiates rapidly; produces extensive contracting myotubes expressing characteristic muscle proteins. Provides model to study in vitro myogenesis and cell differentiation.

DMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 10-15% Foetal Bovine Serum FBS / FCS.
