modal chromosome number = 66; range = 65 to 68. There were approximately 20 to 30 marker chromosomes present in each metaphase spread. A high percentage of those markers were common to most analyzed cells. A long metacentric chromosome with secondary constriction was noted in 77/100 cells.

ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: horse serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37.0°C
|
|
Protocol:
-
Remove and discard culture medium.
-
Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
-
Add 2.0 to 3.0 ml of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).
Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
-
Add 6.0 to 8.0 ml of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
-
Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
-
Incubate cultures at 37°C.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:8 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
|
|
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
|
|
