Derivation |
This line was isolated in 1975 by T.U. Semple, et al. from ascitic fluid of a 70-year-old Caucasian male with carcinoma of the colon. The patient had been treated with 5-fluorouracil for 4-6 weeks before removal of the fluid specimen.

|
Tumorigenic | Yes |
Effects |
Yes, in nude mice
(Tumors developed within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5) in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 10(7) cells)
|
Comments |
The line was derived from tissue from the same patient as COLO 201 (ATCC CCL-224). The cells are CSAp negative (CSAp-).
The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.
COLO 205 cells express a 36000 dalton cell surface glycoprotein related to the GA733-2 tumor associated antigen.

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 |
Cells grow loosely attached and in suspension. Shake flask, retain the floating cells by transfering them into a centrifuge tube. Cells that remain attached may be removed using a standard trypsinization protocol (see below) and combined with the retained floating cells. 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 1:2 to 1:6 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
|
Cryopreservation |
Freeze medium: Complete culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
|
Culture Conditions |
Temperature: 37¡ãC
