Cell Line Name

BLO-11

Cell Line Description

Established from the abdominal wall muscle of a 30 day old male Blotchy mouse (Mo (blo/y)) with hereditary emphysema. The cells are deficient in lysyl oxidase activity and accumulate high levels of intracellular copper. NOR-10 (ECACC catalogue no. 90112701) was isolated from the abdominal wall muscle of a normal litter mate of the mouse from which BLO-11 was derived, thus it can serve as a matched control for studies with BLO fibroblasts.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
