Remarks |
Chinese hamster lung-derived cell line V79B by Ford and Yerganian (1958) from a young male animal, and originally designated as V cells. This cell line was renamed V79 by Elkind in 1958 and then used widely. Several different subclones emerged such as V79-4 or V79B making it important to use the true parental cell lines as controls for different mutants. V79B cells were obtained from Dr. C. F. Arlett (MRC Cell Mutation Unit, University of Sussex, UK). The morphology of V79B differs from that of V79 cells, and V79B cells are more efficient in stable transfections. Several mutants with increased sensitivity to different genotoxic agents have been isolated from V79B, including XR-V15B (GM16144). |
