Zebrafish Testicular Feeder Cells (ZtA6-2) | 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./

ZtA6-2 is clone 2 derived from the ZtA6 zebrafish testicular cells. ZtA6-2 cells express Sox9a and WT1 markers, and the ability to undergo phagocytosis. Functionally it was able to support the growth and prolong the vas expression in germ cells. Clone 2 may be used as a source of homogenous mRNA and protein to assess, a source of a homogenous cell line for experimental genetic manipulation, and to aid in the research of spermatogenesis in a zebrafish model.
