| Gender: | female |
| Propagation: | ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is a 1:1 mixture of ATCC-formulated Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003, and F12 Medium. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37.0°C |
| Subculturing: | Protocol: These cells grow as a mixture of floating and adherent cells. The cells grow as clusters of neuroblastic cells with multiple, short, fine cell processes (neurites). Cells will aggregate, form clumps and float.
Remove the medium with the floating cells, and recover the cells by centrifugation. Rinse the adherent cells with fresh 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA solution, add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin solution, and let the culture sit at room temperature (or at 37C) until the cells detach. Add fresh medium, aspirate, combine with the floating cells recovered above and dispense into new flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:20 to 1:50 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 4 to 7 days |
| Preservation: | Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase |
| Doubling Time: | 48 hrs |
| Related Products: | recommended serum:ATCC 30-2020
parental cell line:ATCC HTB-11 |
