Description

The IBHK-4 cell line is a selected clonal subline derived from the baby hamster kidney BHK21-C13 cell line. The IBHK-4 cell line has been adapted to robust in vitro suspension culture, mixed suspension-monolayer culture and standard monolayer culture growth conditions. It is used as a substrate for certain viruses (e.g., vaccinia) or transfected product. It has been verified as being of hamster origin by both isoenzyme and species-specific antibody analyses. Addition of serum or sets of specific growth and/or attachment factors to chemically defined ACE? medium[MM1] followed by seeding cells onto a monolayer substrate stimulates re-growth of monolayer cultures of the same general size and appearance as the monolayer parental cell line, but, with a larger number of rounded and aggregate cells such that a mixed suspension-monolayer culture is maintained.
