Comments |
The AML12 (alpha mouse liver 12) cell line was established from hepatocytes from a mouse (CD1 strain, line MT42) transgenic for human TGF alpha.
By electron microscopy, these cells exhibit typical hepatocyte features such as peroxisomes and bile canalicular like structure.
AML12 cells retain the capacity to express high levels of mRNA for serum (albumin, alpha 1 antitrypsin and transferrin) and gap junction (connexins 26 and 32) proteins, and contain solely isoenzyme 5 of lactate dehydrogenase.
The cells express high levels of human TGF alpha and lower levels of mouse TGF alpha.
Expression of liver specific proteins decreases with time in culture, but is reactivated by growing the cells in serum free medium.

Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is DMEM:F12 Medium . To make the complete growth medium, add the following component to the 500 mL of the base medium: Supplemented with:
This medium is formulated for use with a 5% CO2 in air atmosphere. |

Subculturing |
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
Subcultivation Ratio: 1:4 to 1:6
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times a week.
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994.
