Restrictions:
The cells are distributed for research purposes only. The Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center releases the line subject to the following: 1.) The cells or their products must not be distributed to third parties. Commercial interests are the exclusive property of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. 2.) Any proposed commercial use of these cells must first be negotiated with The Director, Office of Industrial Affairs, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021; phone (212) 639-6181; FAX (212) 717-3439.
(P12) hypotriploid to hypertriploid (+A1, +A2, +C, +D, +E, +F, +G) with abnormalities including acrocentric fragments, secondary constrictions and large subtelocentric markers
Ultrastructural features include few microvilli, junctional complexes, well formed Golgi, mostly smooth ER, lipid droplets, no virus particles.
Propagation:
ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated McCoy's 5a Medium Modified , Catalog No. 30-2007. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 15%. Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5% Temperature: 37.0°C
Subculturing:
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 4 days
Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Establish new cultures at 1 X 10 exp5 cells/ml and maintain at between 10 exp5 and 10 exp6 cells/ml.
Preservation:
Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
