Cytogenetic Analysis: The cell line is hyperdiploid human female (XX), with the modal chromosome number of 47. Normal chromosomes N9 and N22 are single. One copy of each of these chromosomes is structurally altered to form the two marker chromosomes 9q+ and 22q+., Chromosomes N7 is trisomic. Extra bands were found on one copy of chromosome N7, thereby forming a marker chromosome as described by R.C. Seeger. May have been translocated in part(s) to the q arms of chromosomes N9 and N22.
Isoenzymes: AK-1, 1
ES-D, 1
G6PD, B
GLO-I, 1
Me-2, 2

PGM3, 1
Age: 4 years
Gender: female
Comments: The SK-N-SH line was developed by J.L. Biedler and differs from SK-N-MC (see ATCCHTB-10) in that it exhibits a longer doubling time and higher levels of dopamine - beta - hydroxylase.
SK-N-SH has been used as a target cell line in cell mediated cytotoxicity assays.
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: Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 1 to 2 times per week
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.
Preservation: Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Related Products: Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium):ATCC 30-2003
recommended serum:ATCC 30-2020
