Establishment and characterization of a canine T-lymphoblastoid cell line derived from malignant lymphoma

Vet Immunol Immunopathol. 1997 Oct 6;59(1-2):11-20. doi: 10.1016/s0165-2427(97)00053-6.

Abstract

A canine lymphoma cell line (CL-1) was established in culture from tumor cells found in the pleural fluid of a 7-year old female Japanese terrier with thymic form lymphoma. The CL-1 cells were positive for CD45 and MHC class II and negative for CD4, CD5, CD8, Thy-1 and B-cell specific antigen and surface immunoglobulin. The CL-1 cells had a rearranged T-cell receptor beta-chain gene and a germ-line form immunoglobulin gene, indicating that the CL-1 cells represented a monoclonally expanded population of canine alpha beta T-cell lineage.
