TGP 52

Catalog No.: PC0014


Description

TGP 52 has been isolated from islet tumors 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 52 cells are SV40T antigen positive and secrete somatostatin and are one of a series of pancreatic tumor lines deposited at ECACC. The cells briefly produce insulin in culture and then somatostatin.
