Comments: This cell line was initiated in August of 1992 from a patient of French-Canadian descent with no family history of ovarian cancer. [49408]
Like TOV-21G (ATCCCRL-11730), the OV-90 (ATCCCRL-11732) cell line exhibits a deletion at chromosome 3p24. The TOV-112D (ATCCCRL-11731) cell line does not exhibit a deletion at chromosome 3p24. [42090]
Propagation: ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is a 1:1 mixture of MCDB 105 medium containing a final concentration of 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate and Medium 199 containing a final concentration of 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
  • fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 15%

    • Temperature: 37.0°C
    Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
    Subculturing: Protocol:
    1. Remove and discard culture medium.
    2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
    3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 ml of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).
      Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
    4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 ml of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
    5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
    6. Incubate cultures at 37°C.

        Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 is recommended
        Medium Renewal: Every 3 to 4 days
    Preservation: Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
    Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
