[Isolation and characterization of a new cell line of spontaneously transformed astrocytes of the rat brain].
A new cell line of transformed astrocytes was obtained from primary new born rat brain cultures. rat brain cultures. These transformed cell line possess a normal karyotype, a doubling time of 17-24 hrs. and astrocyte specific protein marquers: glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFA) and glutamine synthetase. The ganglioside pattern is more differentiated than that of other known astrocyte lines.
