Comments: The SHP-77 (Shadyside Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA) cell line is a biochemically stable continuously cultured cell line which has retained important features of SCLC.
It was established in 1977 by Edwin R. Fisher and John D. Paulson.
The line was derived from a non-encapsulated primary lung tumor from the apical portion of the upper lobe of the left lung.
This cell line is an unusual undifferentiated large cell variant of small cell lung carcinoma.
It has the morphology of a variant, but the biochemical properties of a classic SCLC.
Electron microscopy revealed the presence of gland formation and intracytoplasmic lamellar bodies.
The cells have neuroendocrine markers L-dopa decarboxylase and dense core secretory granules.
SHP-77 can serve as an in vitro target in 51Cr and 111In release cytotoxicity assays as well as in vivo nude mice assays for evaluating immune reactivity of cells and serum from lung cancer patients.
The cells can be used to evaluate the immune status of patients with SCLC who are treated with radiation or chemotherapy.
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: heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Temperature: 37.0°C
Subculturing: Medium Renewal: Every 3 to 4 days
Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium.
Start cultures at 4 to 5 X 10 exp5 cells/ml and maintain between 1 X 10 exp5 and 1 X 10 exp6 cells/ml.
The cells grow as floating clusters with some loosely adherent cells, but only the floating cells are transferred.
Preservation: Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Doubling Time: 96 hrs
Related Products: Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium):ATCC 30-2001
