Tumorigenic:
No
Cytogenetic Analysis:
The chromosome number distribution is bimodal with 50% of the cells near diploid (mode = 44 chromosomes) and 50% tetraploid (mode = 88). Both populations consistently showed seven marker chromosomes: 5p+, del(6)(p11), 9q+, 11p+, 15q-, 19p+ and Xp+. Most cells lacked a normal chromosome 15. Cells in the tetraploid population did not exactly duplicate the diploid population in that most had a 14q/21 translocation involving two chromosomes 14 and two chromosomes 21, while the diploid cells had normal chromosomes 14 and 21 and a 6q/14q translocation.
ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated F-12K Medium, Catalog No. 30-2004. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Temperature: 37.0°C
Subculturing:
Protocol: Remove medium, add fresh 0.25% Trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution and allow the flask to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks. Subc*tion Ratio: 1:2 to 1:5 Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium):ATCC 30-2004 recommended serum:ATCC 30-2020 derivative:ATCC CRL-9519
