Cellosaurus MT-4 (CVCL_2632)

[Text version]
Cell line name MT-4
Synonyms MT4
Accession CVCL_2632
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: MT-4 (RRID:CVCL_2632)
Comments Problematic cell line: Partially contaminated. Two different lots formerly distributed by NIH-ARP; 13 P7 3/9/92 and 150048; were shown not to be authentic MT-4 (PubMed=9261343; PubMed=31554688).
Population: Japanese.
Characteristics: Was established by co-cultivation of cells from a 50 year old male T-cell leukemia patient with cord leukocytes from a male infant (CelloPub=CLPUB00542).
Virology: HTLV-1 producing cell line. Expresses Tax. Is permissive for replication of an HIV-1 gp41 mutant lacking the cytoplasmic tail.
Doubling time: ~30 hours (Note=Lot 102799) (JCRB=JCRB1216).
Transformant: NCBI_TaxID; 11908; Human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1).
Derived from site: In situ; Umbilical cord blood; UBERON=UBERON_0012168.
Cell type: T-cell; CL=CL_0000084.
Species of origin Homo sapiens (Human) (NCBI Taxonomy: 9606)
