Cell Line Origin
Mouse BALB/c testis, Leydig cell
Cell Line Description
Originated from primary cultures of Leydig cell enriched preparations from normal testes of 11-13 day old BALB/c nu/+ mice. Characteristics similar to primary cultures of Leydig cells. Responds to leuteinising hormone but not FSH. In the presence of LH the cells are capable of metabolising cholesterol. These cells are non-tumourigenic.
Application
Hormone studies
Culture Medium
Ham′s F12 + DMEM (1:1) + 2mM Glutamine + 5% Horse Serum (HS) + 2.5% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
