Raf KO Mouse
Invented at University Of Leicester
Catalogue Number | 151576 |
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets | RAF1 |
Host | Mouse |
Tissue | Embryo |
Disease Keywords | Cancer |
Model | Knock-Out |
Relevance | The MEF RAF1 KO Cell Line allows in vivo study of Raf-1 knockout and Ras signalling and can be used to carry out drug screening toxicology studies. MEF are produced from the Raf-1+/- knockout mouse. |
Production Details | Embryos were dissected and cut, washed several times with cold PBS and then incubated at 4°C for 2 hours in 0.25% trypsin. Cells were incubated as per the growth conditions. Primary cells were immortalised and resulting cells grown out by continuous culture. |
Research Area | Cancer, Cell Signaling & Signal Transduction, Drug Discovery & Development, Metabolism |
Recommended Growing Conditions | DMEM, 10% FCS, 100U/mol penicillin/streptomycin |
Notes | See the Raf-1 knockout mouse in related products. |
