Zebrafish Testicular Feeder Cells (ZtA6-5) | Amerigo Scientific

ZtA6 cells are derived from spontaneous tumor-like hypertropheied testis isolated from albino-type (alb-1/alb-1) zebrafish. Clones were analyzed for the expression of the Sertoli cell marker (Sox9a), the germ cell marker (Vas), and the Wilm’s tumor suppressor marker (WT1). 12 clones were derived and have distinctive properties and are available./

ZtA6-5 is clone 5 derived from the ZtA6 zebrafish testicular cells which express Sox9a and Vas markers. Among the 12 clones derived from the ZtA6 cells, ZtA6-5 showed high levels of phagocytic activity. The ZtA6-5 cells may be used for further genetic manipulation and is a suitable tool for research in in vitro fertilization and vertebrate spermatogenesis as it is able to support the differentiation of germ cells into functional sperm.
