Relevance | The MEF ULK1 ULK2 DKO (SV40) cell line provides a tool for the study of Ulk1 and Ulk2 and of Autophagy. Mouse embryonic fibroblast Ulk1/Ulk2 double knock-out cell line is from an embryo with a mixed genetic background (Blk6/129 Agouti). Cells were immortalized with SV40 large T-antigen |
Production Details | Primary embryonic fibroblasts were isolated from the embryos of a pregnant female Ulk1-/- Ulk2-/+ mouse at day 13 p.c. The embryos were genotyped to identify those that were Ulk1 -/- Ulk2 -/- and the MEFs that were isolated and cultured were immortalised by SV40 using a standard serial passaging protocol. |
