Comments |
These cells are EBNA positive. The cells are partially resistant to poliovirus and vesicular stomatitis viruses. ATCC confirmed this line tested positive for the presence of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) viral DNA sequences via PCR. |
Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, ATCC 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (ATCC 30-2020) to a final concentration of 10%. |

Subculturing |
Cultures can be maintained by addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively the cells may be collected by centrifugation. Cultures can then be established by resuspending the cells in fresh medium at 4 x 105 viable cells/mL. A maximum of 3 X 106 viable cells/mL is obtainable. Corning® T-75 flasks (catalog #431464) are recommended for subculturing this product.
