Model | Knock-Out |
Relevance | The MEF ULK1/2 WT (SIM) cell line can be used as a wild-type control with ULK1 and ULK2 KO MEF cell lines and is useful for studying ULK1-and ULK-2 dependent processes, including autophagy. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from a wild-type littermate to the ULK1 KO and immortalized by serial passaging (spontaneous transformation). |
Production Details | Cells were derived from mouse embryos at E13.5. Embryos were decapitated and eviscerated and the remaining tissues were dissociated to obtain MEFs. This cell line is a primary cell line immortalized by SIM. |
