| Research Abstract |
We established a retinal pigment epithelium derived cell line from transgenic mouse harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen. We tried to purify the growth or inhibitory factor from bovine neural retinal extract by using these established cells (PRET cells). Though this retinal extract stimulated RPET cells' growth, this growth effects were poor and not observed under lacking the conditioned medium from the neural retinal cells from transgenic mouse harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen (CM). And more this growth effects of retinal extract on RPET cells were less than on chick retinal pigment epithelial cells. Therefore, it is difficult that purify the endogenous factors in neural retina using PRET cells. On the other hand, the growth effect on PRET cells by CM was dramatic and PRET cells and CM were derived from homogeneous animal. Accordingly, we expect that the combination of PRET cells and CM were the wonderful material for investigating the novel endogenous growth factors. Hereafter we will culture the neural retinal cells from transgenic mouse harboring temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large T-antigen, collect the large amount of CM and investigate the growth factor for PRET cells in CM.
