Design of the MC38-hPD‑L1-hCD47-LZ cell line
The MC38 cell line was derived from C57BL/6 murine colon adenocarcinoma cells. They form solid tumors upon subcutaneous injection in immunocompetent mice.
We generated a MC38-hPD-L1-hCD47-LZ clonal cell line expressing high levels of human PD-L1 (CD274 NCBI GeneID: 29126) and human CD47 (NCBI GeneID: 961), and an optimized dual fusion reporter luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ). These cells are invalidated for murine Pd-l1 (Cd274, NCBI Gene ID: 60533). MC38-hPD-L1-hCD47-LZ cells form solid tumors in vivo, most efficiently in hCD47/hSIRPα mice. Isogenic wild-type (WT) and luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ) control clones are available.
MC38-hPD-L1-hCD47-LZ features
- Form solid tumors upon subcutaneous injection in fully immunocompetent mice
- PD-L1 and CD47 are entirely humanized
- Express a luciferase-ZsGreen (LZ) fusion reporter
- Injected cells can be followed in vivo and ex vivo with our LZ reporter
