I shot off a response to this last night that I've tried to cancel. It was
only a few minutes later while driving home that I remembered that your
message does specifically say cortical. My first reaction had been to suggest
the PC12 pheochromocytoma line. That may still be a good compromise, depending
on what you're doing. Have you concidered using a mouse cell line from one
of the SV40 T antigen transgenic lines? Another alternative might be primary
cells from bovine adrenal cortex.
