Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco''''s Modified Eagle''''s Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: horse serum to a final concentration of 10%. |

Subculturing |
Subcultures are prepared by scraping. Remove old medium, add fresh medium and dislodge the cells from the floor of the flask. Aspirate cells and dispense the suspension into new flasks. A standard trypsinizaton may be used if desired. The culture medium in heavy cultures may be turbid in appearance and and give the gross impression of bacterial contamination. It is characteristic of this line to shed viable cells into the medium, thus rendering the medium turbid. The shed cells are viable and may be used to initiate new cultures.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended |
Cryopreservation |
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
