Cellosaurus TWNT-4 (CVCL_W296)

[Text version]
Cell line name TWNT-4
Synonyms TWNT4
Accession CVCL_W296
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: TWNT-4 (RRID:CVCL_W296)
Comments Population: Japanese.
Characteristics: Because it has been transduced by a construct containing LoxP sites, transfection with the Cre recombinase eliminates the TERT gene thus reverting the cells to a non-immortal phenotype.
Characteristics: Transduced with a retroviral vector SSR#197 (MoMLV/LTR-LoxP-hTERT-IRES-EGFP-LoxP-MoMLV/LTR) expressing hTERT and eGFP flanked by a pair of loxP sites.
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=HGNC; HGNC:11730; TERT.
Genetic integration: Method=Transduction; Gene=FPbase; 1XF1B; GFP (Note=avGFP; original A.victoria green fluorescent protein).
Derived from site: In situ; Liver; UBERON=UBERON_0002107.
Cell type: Hepatic stellate cell; CL=CL_0000632.
Disease Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (NCIt: C3800)
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (ORDO: Orphanet_157791)
Species of origin Homo sapiens (Human) (NCBI Taxonomy: 9606)
Hierarchy Parent: CVCL_0390 (LI90)
Sex of cell Female
Age at sampling 55Y
Category Telomerase immortalized cell line
