m5S Cell: Stable Near Diploid Cultured Moiuse Cell Line for Radiobiology


Ref: Sasaki, M. S. and Kodama, S. (1987) Establishment and some mutational characteristics of 3T3-like near-diploid mouse cell line.
J. Cell Physiol., 131:114-122.

 
 m5S cell: 2n=42,X,6+,15+,t(8;8)+  m5S cell at confluence (cells in DNA synthesys stage are less than1 %)

   
 Cels at confluence are very flat and useful for low-penetrating radiations  After C-banding dicentric chromosomes (D) are easily identified
