Additional Info: This cell line, immortalized with temperature sensitive SV-40 T antigen, was derived from murine fetal liver stromal cells. They represent cells obtained from the microenvironment of the liver that support purified mouse and human CD34+CD38- hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Delta-like (Dlk1) /preadipocyte factor-1 (pref-1) is preferentially expressed in AFT024 cells and functions as a positive stem cell regulator. Due to the presence of the temperature sensitive SV40 T antigen, the AFT024 cells must be grown at 33C. At 33C, T antigen binds anti-oncogenes and allows cell division. At higher temperatures, such as 37C, T antigen is inactivated and the cells can no longer divide. SCRC-1007 can serve as a support layer for stem cells at 37C; however, to insure that all AFT024 cells are mitotically inactive, irradiation or Mitomycin C treatment is recommended.
