Documentation
ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.
Cells contain papovavirus
ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.
Detailed product information
General
- Specific applications
-
SV40 large T-antigen is detected by Western blotting.The cell line is susceptible to infection with viruses of several different families.The cells may be used for virus diagnosis and vaccine production.
Characteristics
- Growth properties
- Monolayer
- Derivation
-
The cell line designated Dubca (Dubai Camel) was originated in 1990 from a specimen taken from a fetus during the autopsy of the mother at the Veterinary Research Laboratory in Dubai, UAE.Cells at passage 7 were transformed by infection with SV40 and the resulting cells were cloned in soft agar.Orf, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and Sindbis virus show an abortive infection with virus replicating only in the first passages.

Handling information
- Unpacking and storage instructions
-
- Check all containers for leakage or breakage.
- Remove the frozen cells from the dry ice packaging and immediately place the cells at a temperature below -130°C, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor, until ready for use.
- Complete 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%.
- Handling procedure
-
HANDLING PROCEDURE FOR FROZEN CELLS
- Initiate culture as soon as possible upon receipt.
- Thaw by rapid agitation in 37°C water bath. Thawing should be rapid (within
40-60 seconds). As soon as the ice is melted, remove the ampule from the water
bath. All of the operations from this point on should be carried out under
strict aseptic conditions.
- Transfer the cell suspension and dilute it with the recommended culture
medium in a culture flask (see specific batch information above for dilution
ratio); incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2 in air atmosphere. Since it is important
to avoid excessive alkalinity of the medium during recovery of the cells, it is
suggested that the culture medium be placed into the culture flask, tube, etc.
and the pH be adjusted, as necessary, prior to the addition of the vial
contents. Note that the bicarbonate content of the culture medium will
determine whether an atmosphere containing CO2 will be required.
- It is not necessary to remove the freezing additive. However, if desired,
the culture medium may be changed to remove the protective freezing additive
(dimethylsulfoxide) 24 hours after thawing. If it is desired that the freezing
additive be removed immediately, or that a more concentrated cell suspension be
obtained, centrifuge the above diluted suspension at approximately 125 x g for
10 minutes, discard the fluid and resuspend the cells with growth medium at the
dilution ratio given in the specific batch information above.
FLUID RENEWAL
Every 2-3 days.
SUBCULTURE PROCEDURE
Remove medium, rinse with trypsin (0.25%) - EDTA (0.03%) solution. Add 1-2 ml
additional trypsin solution and allow flasks to remain at room temperature (or
incubate at 37°C) until cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and
dispense into new culture flasks.
Subcultivation ratio: 1:4 to 1:6 is recommended. - Subculturing procedure
-
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:6 is recommendedMedium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 daysRemove medium, rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution, add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin solution and allow the flask to set at room temperature (or incubate at 37C) until cells detach.Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
