C6-Cyto Description

Cytoplasm extract obtained from C6 cells.  Can be used for in vitro translation assays.

Rat glioma C6 cells are used as a model for brain cancer (astrocytomas) studies. The rat C6 glioma cell line, originally produced by Wistar-Furth rats exposed to N,N'-nitroso-methylurea, is morphologically similar to Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common malignant form of glioma. The cells express both functional cannabinoid and vanilloid receptors. Trypsin promotes C6 glioma cell proliferation in serum- and growth factor- free medium.
