Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Karyotype hypertriploid; modal number = 73; range = 59 to 79. The rate of higher ploidies was 9.1%. Eleven markers were common to most cells. These include: der(2)t(2;6)(p13;q13), der(12)t(8;12)(q11;q24), t(15q21q), 19q+, t(8p21q?) and six others. Of these, the der(2) and t(8p21q?) were generally paired. A few cells had double minutes (DM) (one per cell when present). There were 4 copies of N1, N18, N20 and N22 in most cells. Normal 15 and Y were absent. The X was paired in all cells.

Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Leibovitz's L-15 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2008. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing
Protocol:
  1. Remove and discard culture medium.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin - 0.35 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which 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 37C 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 37C.
