Swiss Albino Mouse Embryo Cell 3T3 L1 Transfection Kit

Description

In 1974, scientists developed the 3T3-L1 cell line from an embryo of a Swiss albino mouse (Mus musculus). This cell line resembles the 3T3 cell line from which it was derived in that it displays fibroblast morphology. These cells don't harbor the mousepox-causing ectromelia virus. For the research of fibroblast cells or mammalian embryonic tissue, 3T3-L1 may be helpful. It has been observed that this cell line doubles roughly every 14 hours. Lipolytic and lipogenic hormones, as well as medications like insulin, isoproterenol, and epinephrine, are responsive to 3T3-L1 cells. The 3T3-L1 cell line converts from a rapidly dividing to a confluent and contact inhibited state, transitioning from a pre-adipose to adipose-like state. An embryonic mouse fibroblast cell line known as 3T3-L1 is frequently utilized in research on adipose tissue because, given the right circumstances, its cells can develop into adipocytes. For the 3T3-L1 cell line, CD BioSciences offers lipid-based transfection kits.
