Description
Description: Pseudohexadecaploid cell line generated by fusion of the 8-bromodeoxyuridine resistant mutant rat octaploid glioma cell line C6-3-BU-8 and the 6-thioguanine-resistant mutant rat octaploid glioma cell line C6-3-TG-3. C6-4-2 cells provide a suitable model system for studying the regulation of the membrane potential by peptide hormones.
Also Known As:
