Rat Retinal Cell Line (R28)

Background: The R28 Cells Were Developed From E1A-NR. 3 Parent Cell Line Through Three Rounds Of Limiting Diffusion And Were Before Derived From A Single Cell Despite Their Clonal Origin, These Cells Display Both Glial And Neuronal Cell Markers Indicative Of A Retinal Precursor Cell.The Parental Line E1A-NR.3 Was Established By Immortalization Of Postnatal Day 6 Rat Neuroretinal Tissue Using The Psi2 Replication Incompetent Retroviral Vector.  As A Result, These Cells Are Already Resistant To Geneticin/G418 And Would Require An Alternative Selection Marker For Transfection Studies.  These Cells Were Designed Not To Form Tuners In Animals. Although Their Origins Were Cloned, These Cells Displayed Both Glial And Neuronal Markers, Indicating Retinal Precursor Cells. Maternal Line E1A-NR. The Neuroretinal Tissue Of Postnatal Rats Was Immortalized With Psi2 Replication Unqualified Retroviral Vector. Therefore, These Cells Have Been Resistant To Genetic/G418 And Need Another Selective Marker For Transfection Research. These Cells Are Designed Not To Form Tumors In Animals.
