Karyotype | This is a hypotriploid human cell line. The modal chromosome number is 65 occurring at 50% and polyploidy at 0.8%. 18 marker chromosomes are common to most cells, of which 7 are paired and 11 are single-copied. The t(8q14q), t(9q17q), t(10q17p) are among 7 paired markers common to most cells. N7, N9, and N10 are absent and N11 is generally present in 4 copies. DM''''''''s occurred, but infrequently. Q-band examination did not show the presence of a Y chromosome. |

Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 0.2 Units/ml bovine insulin; fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Human insulin may also be used (Life Technologies, Catalog No. 12585-014). |
