Description
Flat ribbon-like cells differentiating to parallel arrays of spindle shaped cells. Derived from the thoracic aorta of an embryonic BDIX rat. As cells achieve the stationary phase there cell line cell line is an increase in myokinase and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity. After cessation of cell division a muscle type CPK isoenzyme is synthesised. If the cells are to be used in calcium channel electrophysiological studies we recommend the cells are maintained at no greater than 80% confluence.
