TGP 49

Catalog No.: PC0007


Description

TGP 49 has been isolated from acinar cell carcinomas arising in the pancreas of transgenic Tg(E1a-1-SV40E)Bri18 mice. These mice carry a pseudogene construct consisting of a pancreatic-specific elastase 1 promoter linked to the SV40T antigen, thereby representing an animal model of pancreatic carcinogenesis. TGP 49 secretes small amounts of somatostatin and is one of a series of cell lines isolated from pancreatic tumors deposited at ECACC. They are reported not to secrete amylase or lipase but do secrete trypsin.
