Ht29-mtx cells : intestinal model of goblet cells

HT29MTX10-6 and HT29MTX10-5 cell populations were isolated from the colon cancer cell line by stepwise adaptation to 10-6 M and 10-5 M Methotrexate (MTX), respectively. HT29MTX cells form a homogeneous population of polarized goblet cells that secrete mucins of gastric immunoreactivity. A mucus gel becomes visible on the surface of the cell layer at postconfluency. These cells maintain their ability to differentiate under normal culture conditions (without MTX).
