Properties
Karyotype | The stemline chromosome number is hypotriploid and the 2S component occurred at 14.2%. Modal chromosome number is 62. Seven markers occurred frequently, M1 (two copies per cell), M6 and M7 were found in most cells; M2 and M3, and M4 and M5 appeared to be mutually exclusive, i.e., only one of M2 or M3, and one of M4 or M5 were present in each cell. A Y chromosome was not detected by QM band examination, although the cell line was initiated from a male. |

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.
Interval: every 6 to 8 days
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
