Relevance | The MEF ULK1 KO (SV40) cell line provides a tool for the study of Ulk1 and of Autophagy and has a comparable genetic background to MEF Ulk1 Ulk2 DKO and MEF Ulk2 KO cell lines. This cell line is derived from an embryo with a mixed genetic background (Blk6/129 Agouti) and has been immortalised with SV40 large T-antigen. |
Production Details | Primary embryonic fibroblasts were isolated from the embryos of a pregnant female Ulk1-/- Ulk2-/+ mouse at day 13p.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. |
