Product Description
A3 Cell Line | EP-CL-0315 | Elabscience
Background: The Jurkat cells were treated with Fas Antibody and isolated by limiting dilution to obtain a cell line that had a low spontaneous rate of resistance to Fas-medicated apoptosis. The resulting wild-type A3 subclone is very sensitive to Fas-mediated apoptosis. Wild-type A3 cells were made neomycin resistant and treated with three cycles of exposure to the frameshifting mutAgen ICR-191 to isolate clones harboring recessive mutations that were resistant to killing by Fas antibody. ICR-191 treated clones were serially diluted in 96-well plates in the presence of Fas Antibody for 3 to 5 weeks. Two of these ICR-191 treated clones have been deposited at the ATCC. They are I 9. 2, a clone with a mutation in the cysteine protease caspase-8/FLICE and I 2. 1, a clone with a mutation in the adaptor FADD.
