Abstract:
PURPOSE: An immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line derived from a betaPIX-knocked out mouse embryo is provided to study the effect of the gene on fibroblast migration. CONSTITUTION: A method for preparing an immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line comprises: a step of mating betaPIX gene-knocked out mice; a step of extracting an embryo; a step of isolating genome DNA from the yolk sac of the embryo and confirm by PCR; a step of isolating primary fibroblasts from the embryo and a step of culturing in a DMEM medium. The cell migration study is performed by wound healing assay.
