Culture Conditions

Cell Type

Epithelial

Subculture Routine

Cells grow as small dense islands and will not form a monolayer. Recommended that the cell line should be subcultured approximately every 7-14 days.

Seed cells at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm² and use 0.05% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA as a dissociation reagent. Detached cells will often remain in clumps which may be further disaggregated by repeated pipetting of the cells.

Recommended growth conditions 7.5% CO2; 37°C.

Culture Medium

DMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS)

Growth Mode

Adherent

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
