TGP 54

Catalog No.: PC0015


Description

TGP 54 was isolated from islet tumors arising in the pancreas of transgenic Tg(E1a-1-SV40E)Bri8 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 54 cells are SV40T antigen-positive, secrete small amounts of somatostatin, and are one of a series of cells obtained from pancreatic tumors deposited at ECACC.
