Mdck cell line

Sourced in United States

The MDCK (Madin-Darby Canine Kidney) cell line is a well-established and commonly used in vitro model derived from the distal renal tubules of a normal adult female cocker spaniel. The MDCK cell line is characterized by its ability to form polarized monolayers and tight junctions, making it a valuable tool for studies related to epithelial cell biology, transport processes, and virus-host interactions.

All cell lines were tested for mycoplasma contamination via PCR (e-Myco Plus kit; iNtRON Biotechnology, Kirkland, WA) and were found to be negative. In addition, all cell lines are routinely checked for morphologic and growth changes, to probe for cross-contamination or genetically drift. If present, cell lines were re-authenticated using the short tandem repeat profiling service by ATCC.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
