Cell Line Origin
Rat transplantable mesothelioma, asbestos, primary tumour
Cell Line Description
The Me-series of mesotheliomas were generated by an intrapleural inoculation of UICC crocidolite to induce primary mesotheliomas in syngenic PVG/c Norweigan Hooded rats. Solid fragments of the tumours were transplanted and maintained by s.c. serial passage. The cell lines are metastatic in a syngeneic host.
