Cell lines  
Murine and human conditionally and stable transformed podocytes  
Murine and human stable transformed mesangial cells  
Murine stable transformed tubular cells  
Murine stable transformed glomerular endothelial cells  
Established proximal tubular cell lines (LLC-PK1, OK cells). Unfortunately, these are a poor model for the proximal tubule.
