The cell line is aneuploid human female, with chromosome counts in the sub to near-triploid range. Several normal chromosomes (N11, N13, N14, N15, N16, N17, and N22) are clearly under-represented. Many of these missing chromosomes are represented in the large number of cytogenetically altered chromosomes identified as marker chromosomes. In addition to the marker chromosomes, there are a large number of other structurally abnormal and unassignable chromosomes that are not recognized as markers. Random loss and gain of chromosomes from cell to cell are noted in the exact chromosome counts and in the analysis of the karyotypes.

ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 0.01 mg/ml bovine insulin; fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 20%.
Temperature: 37.0°C
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
|
|
|
Protocol: Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM 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 37C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
|
|
|
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor temperature
|
|
|
Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium):ATCC 30-2001
recommended serum:ATCC 30-2020
