Abstract

We have infected primary embryonic mouse limb chondrocytes with a retrovirus carrying simian virus 40 early regions and have obtained a monoclonal mouse chondrocyte line, MC615, that was able to grow on culture dishes for at least 7 months and 20 passages. MC615 cells show expression of simian virus 40 large T (tumor) antigen and express markers characteristic of cartilage in vivo, such as types II, IX, and XI collagen, as well as cartilage aggrecan and link protein. These data show that cell growth induced by large T oncogene expression does not prevent the maintenance of the chondrocytic phenotype.
