Organism Cricetulus griseus, hamster, Chinese
Product Format frozen
Morphology fibroblast
Culture Properties mixed, adherent and suspension
Biosafety Level 1
Gender female
Applications
UV20 is a UV sensitive line derived from AA8 (see ATCC CRL-1859).
The line is defective in nucleotide excision repair, is sensitive to bulky adduct mutagens and belongs to excision repair cross complementation group 1.
Both UV20 and UV41 (see ATCC CRL-1860) are extremely sensitive to DNA cross linking agents.
Derivation
This line is a derivative of the CHO-K1 cell line (see ATCC CCL-61).
UV20 is a UV sensitive line derived from AA8 (see ATCC CRL-1859).
Clinical Data
female
Comments

Complete Growth Medium Alpha minimum essential medium without ribonucleosides and deoxyribonucleosides, 90%; fetal bovine serum, 10%
Subculturing
Protocol: To subculture attached cells, remove the medium and rinse the cells with fresh 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA. Let the culture sit at 37C until the cells detach (about 5 minutes). The suspended cells are viable and can be used to start new cultures.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:12 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
Culture Conditions
Temperature: 37.0°C
Population Doubling Time 16 hrs
Name of Depositor LH Thompson
