NOVEL CELL LINE AND SCREENING METHOD WITH THE USE OF THE SAME

摘要

A cloned cell line of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, capable of differentiating into chondrocytes and adipocytes and established from a normal matured animal; and a method for screening cell differentiation regulators. Specifically, a cell line capable of differentiating into chondrocytes and adipocytes and characterized by originating in a normal matured animals; a method for screening cell differentiation regulators by using the above cell line; screening kits containing the above cell line; cell differentiation regulators obtained by the above screening method; and drugs containing the above differentiation regulators.
