Reverse Transcript: positive
Age: embryo
Comments: PG13/LN c8 cells produce a retroviral vector (LN) that transduces the neo gene and can infect cells from many mammalian species (other than mice).
The line was derived from PG13 (see ATCC CRL-10686).
Although virus production has not been observed, there is a possibility that the cells will produce a virus similar to GaLV (a moderate risk oncogenic virus) and Biosafety Level 2 or higher precautions should be taken when using this cell line.
Propagation: ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. 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: Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Remove medium, add fresh 0.25% Trypsin, 0.02% EDTA solution and allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or 37C) until the cells detach (2 to 3 minutes). Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks.
