Description
Description: TGP 49 has been isolated from an acinar cell carcinoma arising in the pancreas of a transgenic Tg(E1a-1-SV40E)Bri18 mouse. These mice carry a pseudogene construct composed of a pancreatic specific elastase-1 promoter linked to the SV40T antigen and thereby represent an animal model for pancreatic carcinogenesis. TGP 49 secretes low amounts of somatostatin, it is one of a series of cell lines isolated from pancreatic tumours deposited at ECACC. They have been reported not to secrete amylase or lipase but do secrete trypsin. Differentiation characteristics fluctuate from time to time in culture. Trabecular and clumps of small cells.
