Cytogenetic Analysis: Chromosome Frequency Distribution 49 Cells: 2n = 46Karyotype unstable within triploid stemline range of 67 to 71. Ninety-six percent of the cells have a large chromosome with a submedian centromere. Approximately 52% of the cells have one or more secondary constrictions; 42% of the cells examined had breaks.
Isoenzymes: G6PD, B
Age: 3 month gestation
Gender: male
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Comments: WI-26 VA4 is an SV40 virus transformed derivative of WI-26 a human diploid fibroblast cell line from embryonic lung tissue. After initial infection and crisis-phase of SV40-transformation, the cells underwent a change in morphology. The cells are positive for SV40 neo (T) antigen and SV40 transplantation antigen.
Propagation: ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003. 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, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37C) until the cells detach.Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:5 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Twice per week
Preservation: Freeze medium: Complete growth medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor temperature
Related Products: Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium):ATCC 30-2003
recommended serum:ATCC 30-2020
