Cell Line Origin
Canine Cocker Spaniel kidney
Cell Line Description
MDCK I - Madin-Darby canine kidney- is a subclone derived from the heterogeneous parent line MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney, Sigma Catalogue number. 85011435). MDCK-I cells, also known as "low passage MDCK" are reported to display a high electrical resistance (over 1000 Ohm/cm2) and form a monolayer with characteristics of tight epithelia of the renal collecting duct. Grown on filters, the cells show a cuboidal polarised morphology and express microvillae-like projections on the apical surface. Cultures on glass possess junctions but no polarised or columnar morphology. MDCK-I cells display an adrenalin, vasopressin and prostoglandin E sensitive adenyl cyclase. Please note, these cells were mycoplasma erradicated prior to deposit at ECACC. Epithelial phenotype may be unstable. Incomplete harvesting at confluence may select for smooth-muscle phenotype this is important if cells being used for transepithelial resistance studies.
Application
