Merck, 90112702-1VL, BLO-11

Application
Genetic studies
Biochem/physiol Actions
Established from the abdominal wall muscle of a 30 day old male Blotchy mouse (Mo (blo/y)) with hereditary emphysema. The cells are deficient in lysyl oxidase activity and accumulate high levels of intracellular copper. NOR-10 (Sigma Catalogue number. 90112701) was isolated from the abdominal wall muscle of a normal litter mate of the mouse from which BLO-11 was derived, thus it can serve as a matched control for studies with BLO fibroblasts.
Mouse Moblo/y muscle hereditary emphysema
