Properties
Karyotype | Cell line U-2 OS is chromosomally highly altered, with chromosome counts in the hypertriploid range. We did not find the hypodiploid cell population described by J. Ponten, et al., Instead, most of the population has slightly higher counts than first described. Very few normal chromosomes are present, but a high number of stable marker chromosomes are identified., Different chromosomal rearrangements involving the same chromosomes (N1, N7, N9, and N11 particularly), are seen. Twenty-two markers are found including: t(9qter--->9q21::1p36--->1p::?), 7p+, iso(17q), t(15q;?), 4q+, del(3)(q21), 5q(aberrant) and others. Ref |

Background
Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated McCoy''''''''s 5a Medium Modified, Catalog No. 30-2007. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. |

Subculturing |
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37¡ãC) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks. Corning® T-75 flasks (catalog #430641) are recommended for subculturing this product. Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week |
