Comments |
The serum-free conditioned medium from this cell line is a source of MSA. MSA is a family of polypeptides that can partially satisfy the serum requirement of chick embryo fibroblasts.

Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is Eagle''''s Minimum Essential Medium. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10% This medium is formulated for use with a 5% CO2 in air atmosphere. ATCC tested fetal bovine serum is available as ATCC® Catalog No. 30-2020 (500 mL) and ATCC® Catalog No. 30-2021 (100 mL). |

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: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended 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. |
Cryopreservation |
Complete growth medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 5% DMSO. Cell culture tested DMSO is available as ATCC Catalog No. 4-X.
