A human colonic tumor cell line that maintains vectorial electrolyte transport. 1984

K Dharmsathaphorn, and J A McRoberts, and K G Mandel, and L D Tisdale, and H Masui

A human colonic epithelial cell line, T84, derived from a colonic carcinoma, has been examined both morphologically and functionally. The cells grew to confluence as a monolayer with the basolateral membrane attached to the surface of the culture dish and a microvillus-studded apical membrane facing the media. Tight junctions and desmosomes were demonstrated between adjacent cells. Confluent monolayer cultures conducted vectorial electrolyte transport that could be altered by a variety of secretagogues and antisecretagogues similar to isolated intestinal tissues. This cell line will serve as an excellent model system for the study of electrolyte transport processes and their regulation by peptide hormones and neurotransmitters.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.
