Células 3T3

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	células 3T3
Scope note:	Línea celular derivada de los fibroblastos de embriones desagregados de ratones suizos. Ésta línea es un sistema hospedador in vitro de gran valor para los estudios de transformación de virus oncogénicos, ya que las células 3T3 poseen una elevada sensibilidad a la inhibición por contacto.

Scope note:

Cell lines whose original growing procedure consisted being transferred (T) every 3 days and plated at 300,000 cells per plate (J Cell Biol 17:299-313, 1963). Lines have been developed using several different strains of mice. Tissues are usually fibroblasts derived from mouse embryos but other types and sources have been developed as well. The 3T3 lines are valuable in vitro host systems for oncogenic virus transformation studies, since 3T3 cells possess a high sensitivity to CONTACT INHIBITION.
