Description
The arachnoid cells are important in the maintenance of apical-basal polarity and the formation of tight junctions at the cerebrospinal fluid-blood barrier (CSF-blood barrier). The Immortalized Rat Arachnoid cells-SV40/hTERT derived from primary rat arachnoid cells maintained the ability to form intact epithelial monolayer and displayed normal immunohistochemical and morphological phenotypes. As such, the Immortalized Rat Arachnoid cell line is useful in physiological studies in modeling arachnoid granulations and cerebrospinal fluid flow. In addition, this cell line is also useful in pathological conditions such as hydrocephalus, arachnoid cysts, or other disorders.

Quality Control
1. Immunofluorescence and Western Blotting were used to confirm the presence of SV40 (82kDa) and hTERT (122kDa) expression.
2. Immortalized Rat Arachnoid Cells exhibit spindle-like appearance at low density before reaching confluency and “cobblestone” appearance after becoming fully confluent, which appeared to be identical to its primary counterparts.
3. Immunofluorescence and Western Blotting were used to confirm the presence of arachnoid cell markers such as vimentin, cytokeratin and desmoplakin.
