General Information | |
Organism | Mus musculus, mouse |
Cell Line Description | NIH 3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells were initiated from a cell line isolated at the New York University School of Medicine Department of Pathology in 1962. 3T3 refers to the cell transfer and inoculation method for the line, and means “3-day transfer, inoculum 3 x 105 cells.” Using this method, the immortal cell line begins to thrive and stabilize in cell culture after about 20-30 generations of in vitro growth. George Todaro and Howard Green originally obtained the cells from desegregated NIH Swiss mouse embryo fibroblasts. |

Comments | The original cells are extremely contact inhibited, although the cell line is no longer inhibited. NIH 3T3 cells are receptive to transformation with SV40 and polyomavirus. Moreover, 3T3 cells are sensitive to sarcoma virus focus formation, leukemia virus and are inhibited by temazepam and other benzodiazepines. |
