Morphology and growth | continuous culture, grown in suspension, morphology irregularly shaped aggregates |
Culture conditions | RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS + 2mM L-Glutamine; split 1:2-1:4; seed at 1-2 x 10^5 cells/cm2; 37C, 5% CO2 |
Properties | the cell line has been reported to produce ACTH and related peptides, and calcitonin. HLA class I and II expressed |
Distribution | Cell line available for distribution. For non-commercial investigative use only |
Hazard | |
Species validation | Validated by HLA-DP beta: confirmed as human by PCR |
Karyology | aneuploid: the modal chromosome number tends to decline |
Freezing medium | Culture medium + 50% FBS + 10% DMSO |
Validation assays | Identification confirmed by Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profile. |
Comments | The viability may be low after thawing; thaw the cells with medium supplemented with FBS 20%. |
