Cytogenetic Analysis: This human cell line has a hypertriploid chromosome number. The modal chromosome number was 72 occurring in 26% of the cells and the rate of higher ploidies was at 1.2%. Eighteen markers were common.They are: t(1q,?), M2,M3, del(3) (p21), der(5)t(5;?) (q35;?), del(6) (q21), t(11q14q), t(11;11) (p15;q11), der(14)t(2;14) (q21;q32), t(17q,?), M13, M14, M15, M16, M17, der(8)t(8;?), t(9p,?) and 19pt. Of these M13 was paired. Normal N14 was not found. N6 was single copied, X had 3 copies and N18 had 4 copies in each cell.
Isoenzymes: G6PD, B
Age: 63 years adult
Gender: female
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Comments: The cells produce high levels of MUC-1 mucin mRNA, low levels of MUC-2 mRNA but do not express the MUC-3 gene. [23102]
Propagation: ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37.0°C
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.
