The repeat is often localized in the N-terminal region of huntingtin and the resulting N-terminal fragments accumulate in the nucleus and become toxic to the cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey elements and design rationale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel identity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Huntingtin 150Q Stable PC12 Cell Line is supplied as an engineered cell line derived from Rat adrenal gland.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adherent, small and irregular shaped\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e PriCoat™ T25 Flasks (G299) or Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) are recommended for optimal cell culture.

Its control cell line, the Huntingtin 20Q Stable PC12 cell line, in contrast, displays the HD 20Q proteins evenly in the cytoplasm. The two cell lines together provide a valuable model for studies relating to altered gene expression caused by the polyglutamine tracts and the pathology of HD. Generated by the co-transfection of a pCIS expression vector expressing a partial huntingtin cDNA containing 150 CAG repeats and a pCDNA3 expression vector carrying G418 resistance.
