Cellosaurus AR-EcoScreen GR KO M1 (CVCL_VN86)

[Text version]
Cell line name AR-EcoScreen GR KO M1
Synonyms AR-EcoScreen GR KnockOut Mutant 1
Accession CVCL_VN86
Resource Identification Initiative To cite this cell line use: AR-EcoScreen GR KO M1 (RRID:CVCL_VN86)
Comments Characteristics: Used for rapid evaluation of in vitro androgen receptor transcriptional activation. The NR3C1/GR knockout renders the AR-EcoScreen assay insensitive to glucocorticoid activation.
Characteristics: The luciferase reporter gene is under the control of a construct bearing four tandem repeats of a prostate C3 gene androgen-responsive element driven by a minimal heat shock protein promoter.
Knockout cell: Method=CRISPR/Cas9; HGNC; 7978; NR3C1.
Transfected with: HGNC; 644; AR.
Transfected with: UniProtKB; P27652; Renilla-type luciferase.
Derived from site: In situ; Ovary; UBERON=UBERON_0000992.
Cell type: Epithelial cell of ovary; CL=CL_2000064.
Species of origin Cricetulus griseus (Chinese hamster) (Cricetulus barabensis griseus) (NCBI Taxonomy: 10029)
Hierarchy Parent: CVCL_8544 (AR-EcoScreen)
Sex of cell Female
Age at sampling Adult
Category Spontaneously immortalized cell line
