Transformed rat mesothelial cell line isolated from the peritoneal fluid of a female rat (Fischer F344), after 277 days of induction with crocidolite (blue asbestos) injected intraperitoneously in 2008.
This cell line was subdivided into F1-0e and F1-0f after 3 passages in culture. The two subtypes slightly differed both on morphological aspects (see photographs below at passage 7) and levels of markers.
Belongs to the epithelioid group and "Sbnl" (subnormal) subgroup (see publications 1 and 2 below for more details).
The complete proteomic analysis data of the biocollection of cell lines has been deposited on the PRIDE database website (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride), part of the ProteomeXchange Consortium, with the dataset identifier PXD060521.
