  • Description: A hybrid cell line formed by the electrofusion of a primary culture of human pancreatic islets with PANC-1, a human pancreatic ductal carcinoma cell line. 1.4E7 has been shown to be tumourigenic when transplanted into a SCID mouse host. The cell line has applications in the study of pancreatic cell biology.
